T2200 Declaration of Conditions of Employment: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn if you can use the T2200 form to deduct work-related expenses from your income tax in Canada.
The T2200 is a form used to support your claim for certain work-related expenses when you are required to pay for them yourself.
Who it's for
This is for employees who are required to pay for their own work expenses out-of-pocket.
What you get
By using this declaration, you gain the ability to deduct specific costs, such as home office and research expenses, from your total income when filing your taxes.
What it costs you
To use this, you must obtain a signature from your employer every year to confirm your employment conditions.
The catch to know
You are not permitted to claim these expenses if your employer or university already reimburses you for them.
How to apply
- Confirm that your employer requires you to pay for your own work expenses.
- Ask your employer to sign the T2200 declaration form.
- Use the signed form when you file your annual income tax return.
