Can I write off Travel (Hotels & Transit) in Canada?

YES

Explanation

Travel expenses (airfare, hotels, taxis) are deductible if they are incurred to earn business income. Meals while travelling are still subject to the 50% rule. If you bring a spouse/child, their portion of the travel is NOT deductible.

💡 Pro Tip

If you combine a vacation with a business trip, you can only deduct the costs that were purely for business (e.g., you can't deduct the hotel for the 3 days you stayed after the conference ended).
