🇨🇦 The Canadian Small Business "Cheat Sheet" for Expenses
❓ Confused about what you can actually write off this year? You aren't alone. One of the most common questions we get is: ✅"Can I expense this?"
While every business is different, the CRA has specific guidelines on what constitutes a reasonable business expense. We created this quick visual guide to help you categorize your spending and maximize your return.
Key takeaways:
1️⃣ Keep personal and business expenses separate.
2️⃣ Advertising and marketing are 100% deductible.
3️⃣ Professional fees (like hiring us!) are fully deductible.
