Today, we pause to honour and remember the brave men and women who have served, and continue to serve, our country.
Their courage and sacrifice have secured the freedoms we enjoy every day.

“Every meal is a business expense!” — okay, not so fast

The CRA only lets you deduct up to 50% of meals and entertainment costs that are directly tied to earning business income.
That means half of what you spend (as long as it’s reasonable) on food, drinks, tip, and tax.

✅ Deductible (50%):

* Client or supplier meals
* Business travel meals

✅ Deductible (100%):

* Staff office parties (up to 6 per year)
* Meals billed back to clients

❌ Not deductible:

* Meals for yourself while working alone
* Everyday takeout or “I was hungry” lunches

Write who you met with and why right on the receipt —
the CRA loves a good paper trail.

“But I wear it for work!” — every entrepreneur ever

Here’s the truth: CRA considers clothing personal, not a business expense … unless it’s a uniform, protective gear, or a costume for performing artists.

You can’t deduct:
❌ Regular business clothes (even with your logo)
❌ Everyday dry cleaning

You can deduct:
✅ Uniforms or safety gear
✅ Costumes for performing artists
✅ Branded merch you give away for promo

So that embroidered blazer you bought? Personal.
But the branded hats you hand out at events? Tax deductible

“It’s a write-off!” said every entrepreneur ever… usually without knowing what that actually means.

Let’s clear it up 👇

A business expense is a cost you pay to earn business income — like supplies, software, or rent.
You can only claim it if it’s incurred to earn income and it’s reasonable (yes, CRA cares about that part).

Keep your receipts — seriously. If CRA ever asks, those tiny slips become your best friends.

And here’s where it gets fun…
Not all expenses are created equal. Some have special rules about how and when you can claim them.

So before you start writing off your whole life — follow this series.
We’ll unpack what actually counts (and what really doesn’t).
