Tax Checksdeductions

My move was work-related - can I deduct it?

The 40km rule is strictly enforced.

Is this you?

  • I moved for work or school
  • The new location was nearby
  • I wasn't sure about distance rules

"Close enough should count."

The move must shorten your commute by at least 40km using the shortest public route.

Why guessing is risky

  • CRA uses mapping tools to verify distance
  • Moves at 39.5km are fully denied
  • Denied claims increase tax later

Safe to ignore if

  • Distance clearly exceeded 40km
  • Eligibility was confirmed

Stop and check if

  • Distance was close to the limit
  • Expenses were already claimed

Resolve the doubt

We'll tell you if this needs reporting and what to do next.

"Most people confirm eligibility before claiming."
