Can I write off Event Tickets (Sports/Concerts) in Canada?
50% DEDUCTIBLE
Explanation
Tickets to concerts, theatre, or sporting events used to entertain current or prospective clients are 50% deductible. However, if you rent a private box or suite, the cost of the suite rental itself is NOT deductible, but the ticket portion and food are.
💡 Pro Tip
If you buy a suite, ask the venue to invoice the tickets and food separately from the room rental fee so you can still claim the eligible 50%.
