Can I write off Commuting to Work in Canada?

NO

Explanation

Travel between your home and your regular place of business is considered 'personal driving' by the CRA, even if you make business calls during the drive. These costs are not deductible.

💡 Pro Tip

If you have a legitimate home office that serves as your principal place of business, driving from your home to a client's site is considered business travel, not commuting.
