Personal
Can I write off Clothing & Business Suits in Canada?
NO
Explanation
Clothing is generally personal. You can only deduct costs for specific uniforms (e.g., with a permanent logo), safety gear (steel-toe boots), or costumes for performers. Standard business suits are not deductible, even if you only wear them to work.
💡 Pro Tip
If you buy branded clothing (swag) to give away to clients for marketing, that is deductible as Advertising/Promotion, not clothing.
