Can I write off Gifts to Clients in Canada?
YES (CONDITIONAL)
Explanation
Gifts are deductible if reasonable. However, if the gift is food, liquor, or entertainment tickets, it is subject to the 50% limit. Physical gifts (like a branded pen, book, or gadget) are usually 100% deductible.
💡 Pro Tip
If you give a client a $100 bottle of wine, you can only write off $50. If you give them a $100 kitchen gadget, you can write off $100.
