New year, new mileage log!

Those who use their vehicles for work, January 1st means the start of a new mileage log. 🚗💨

For CRA, no mileage log means no vehicle expense deduction.

I’ve attached an example of a simple manual mileage log. There are also many CRA approved apps available. I’ve been using the app Mileage Tracker by Drivers Note and find it pretty easy to use.😃

🚨🚨 In 2025, CRA has shifted from manual reviews to AI-driven risk scoring. Their goal is to identify inconsistencies between your reported income and your actual lifestyle or third-party data.

❓ What does this mean?
➡️ CRA is using AI & Data Cross-Matching. It now uses machine learning to cross-reference your tax return against:

Land Registry Data:
Every property purchase, sale, or mortgage is automatically compared to your reported income.

Social Media & Lifestyle:
If your reported income is $40,000 but you own a $1.5M home and a luxury vehicle, the "Lifestyle Audit" algorithm will flag you for an investigation into unreported income.

Third-Party Platforms:
Data from Airbnb, VRBO, and Uber is now fed directly into CRA systems to catch unreported gig or rental income.

💡 Diligent, meticulous and accurate record keeping is of utmost importance.
