Tax expert Evelyn Jacks, president of Knowledge Bureau Inc. in Winnipeg, says moving expenses tend to be audited by the Canada Revenue Agency as the amount claimed is usually in the five figures. Some advisors also note that moving expense audits may be more common with the rise of interprovincial relocations and remote work opportunities in the past few years.
“You can’t cut corners to save a few dollars,” he says. “Taxes do need to be paid by the moving company – otherwise an audit is going to come through to say there’s no proof of taxes being paid.” “CRA definitely can flag when both employer and employee claim the same or similar expenses,” Mr. Trotta says. “They may ask for supporting documents before they go into a straight audit as expenses are only to be deducted once.”
