Marketing
Can I write off Advertising & Marketing in Canada?
YES
Explanation
Online ads (Facebook, Google), radio spots, and print ads are deductible. Note that expenses for advertising with foreign broadcasters (e.g., US TV stations) directed primarily at a Canadian market may have deduction restrictions.
💡 Pro Tip
If you spend heavily on Facebook/Google ads, remember they often bill from outside Canada. You may need to self-assess GST/HST on these costs if you are GST/HST registered.
