Can I write off Office Rent in Canada?

YES

Explanation

Rent paid for a property used for your business (e.g., commercial lease, WeWork, storage unit) is fully deductible. Note: You cannot pay yourself 'rent' for a home office; that must be calculated via 'Home Office Expenses'.

💡 Pro Tip

Ensure the lease agreement is in your business name. If you prepay rent for the following year, you can usually only deduct the portion that applies to the current tax year.
