CRA Tax Tip: Claiming transport costs for medical treatment
Canada Revenue Agency has released a new tax tip on its web site reminding Canadians that you may be eligible to claim transportation travel costs relating to medical treatment unavailable where you live.
"To claim transportation costs, the place where the treatment is received must be at least 40 kilometers from where the patient lives. To claim additional travel costs such as meals and lodging, the place where the treatment is received must be at least 80 kilometers from where the patient lives."
