Can I write off Conventions & Conferences in Canada?

YES (MAX 2 PER YEAR)

Explanation

You can deduct the cost of attending up to two conventions per year. The convention must relate to your business, and the organization holding it must be within the geographical scope of your business operations.

💡 Pro Tip

Keep the conference agenda/flyer with your receipt. This proves to the CRA that the event was business-related and not just a vacation disguised as work.
