CRA case shows what can happen when an employer provides employees with an allowance that’s not entirely based on kilometres driven. Read on
Travel expenses taxable?
The taxpayer said his union hall typically calls him at his home to let him know what and where his next job is, and most of his jobs require him to drive from Kelowna to other locations. In the years under review, the taxpayer travelled to jobs in various parts of B.C., such as Port Alice, Fort Nelson, Trail, Kamloops, Castlegar, Quesnel and Crofton, as well as Edmonton, among other locations.
The issue arose because in 2014 and 2015, the collective agreement changed the way travel allowances were calculated and paid to employees. The process for reimbursing employees for travel was streamlined by eliminating the need for receipts and using a single location as a common starting point for calculating the per-kilometre reimbursement for all work-related trips. The changes also ended up affecting the employees’ tax treatment.
