Tax Corner By John Manuel, C.G.A. Employee's Deductions Many people with T-4 in- corne oniy are under the impression that the only deduction available to them is the standard 3 per cent or $150 maximum. This is flot entirely true. You could be entitled to other deductions aswell. To qualify for most of them, a clearcut, understancding with your employer is necessary, as the Departmei#t could Pasiiy contact, him to, verify that you are entitled to them. The use of your own automobile is the most com- mon expense. This would appiy where-you are required to travel while doing your job (not including personal com- muting) and are not reim- bursed for mileage. If you are paid a fixed travelling allow- ance, you couid add this to your income on uine 3 of your return and deduct the ex- penses on uine 6. Expenses "Dear Clara," wrote the young an, "pardon me, but l'm getting s0 fo rgetful.I rposed to you Iast night, but really forgot >hthr you s;aidpyes or no." "Dear WiII", she replied by note, "50 glad to hear from you. 1 knew that I had said no to somebody last night, but had forgotten who it was."

Meals and accommodation while away from work over- night would be deductible if you were not reimbursed by your employer and were required by hlm to be away. Transport empioyees who drive long distances trans- porting passengers or goods can deduct the cost of meals and iodging, if not reim- bursed, but of course, you should keep ail the buis and a record of where you were driving at the time. If you are required to keep an office in your home or use your home in any way for your empioyer's business, you may aliocate a portion of your home expenses. This is usuai- iy dqne on a square-footage basis. Supplies such as business cards, personaiized invoices and the like may also be deductibie if you are required to pay for them yourself. Ail of these expenses could be allowable if you can satisfy two importaqt tests: a) Were you required by your employer to incur them (the Department' could check this, with hlm. to be doubly sure), and b) You must not have been reimbursed for the expenses you are trying to deduct. You couid aiso be cailed on, of course, to prove ail these expenses with vouchers, and aithough you need not submit them with your return, you could be asked to supply them if your fileis; audited later. ,Commissioned salesmen, could have a much -wider range of expenses, and with proper documentation could use ail of these expenses as part of their dlaim. The standard deduction, however, does not usually appiy, to salésmen. Finaiiy, if there are ex-, penses to be deducted, you should attach a summary to your return, listing the var- ious expenses and showing your personal portion. The total only would then be carried to Une 6 of your return. Next Week: Moving Expenses REMINDER - Monday, March lst deadline for RRSP, RHOSP- and Averaging Annuities.
