Top Tax Deductions Self-Employed Canadians Miss Every Year

Self-employment comes with complexity — but also with serious tax advantages most people don’t fully use.

Home Office Expenses

If you work from home, you can deduct a portion of rent, utilities, internet, and even property tax.

Vehicle Expenses

Track your business mileage. You can deduct fuel, insurance, maintenance, and depreciation proportional to business use.

Professional Development

Courses, certifications, books, and subscriptions relevant to your work are all deductible.

Equipment & Technology

Computers, cameras, phones, and software used for business can be fully or partially deducted.

Health & Dental Premiums

Self-employed Canadians can deduct private health insurance premiums under the Business Income section.

GST/HST You Paid

If you’re registered for GST/HST, you can claim Input Tax Credits on business purchases — reducing what you remit.

City Tax Filing prepares T2125 returns starting at $150. We make sure you claim everything you’re entitled to.
