  • a labour mobility deduction that could have been deducted in a previous year
  • an expense that you are or were entitled to receive a reimbursement, allowance, or any other form of assistance for
The total eligible temporary relocation expenses that you can claim, including expenses carried forward from the prior year, is limited to 50% of the employment income from that relocation in the current year. The employment income must be from employment as an eligible tradesperson.
 
(2) Temporary lodging is an eligible temporary relocation expense if, throughout the period of the taxpayer’s temporary relocation, the taxpayer maintains their ordinary residence as their principal place of residence, and the ordinary residence remains available for the taxpayer’s occupancy and is not rented to any other person.

(4) You must calculate your employment-use amount.

Example of how to calculate your employment-use amount (line 48)

You are a salaried employee who worked from home using your dining room table. The dining room represents 12% of the total square footage of your house and is used for work for 40 hours out of a total 168 hours in the week.

You paid $2,400 for electricity, heat, water, and Internet and $12,000 for rent. You will enter $2,400 on line 42, $12,000 on line 46, and the subtotal of $14,400 on line 47.

To determine your employment-use amount, you must first calculate your employment-use percentage, as follows:
  (40 hours ÷ 168 hours) x 12% = 2.9%

Your employment-use amount is the subtotal amount of $14,400 from line 47:
  ($2,400 + $12,000) x 2.9% = $417.60.

Enter $417.60 on line 48.
