The Canada T2200 form, officially titled Declaration of Conditions of Employment, is completed by your employer to confirm you were required to pay certain employment expenses as a condition of your job. Any employee who wants to deduct work-related expenses on line 22900 of their tax return needs this form filled out by their employer first.
Your employer must verify that your employment contract required you to pay these expenses without reimbursement. Eligible employment expenses include motor vehicle costs, travel expenses, home office expenses, office supplies, and tools for tradespersons. Each expense category has specific conditions the employer must certify on the form.
You do not file the T2200 with your income tax return. Instead, keep it with your tax records in case the Canada Revenue Agency requests it for review. Use it alongside the T777 Statement of Employment Expenses to calculate your actual deduction. The CRA may ask to see both documents when reviewing your employment expense claim.
The T2200 covers a wide range of employment scenarios, including employees required to travel, work from a home office, or use a personal vehicle for work. Apprentice mechanics and tradespersons have additional provisions for tools and equipment. For full details on eligible expenses and filing requirements, refer to CRA Guide T4044 and Interpretation Bulletins IT-352 and IT-522.
