T2200s Declaration of Conditions of Employment

The 鈥淭emporary Flat Rate Method鈥�听of claiming home office expenses on the T2200s form听ended December 31, 2022.听The CRA introduced this method to allow employees to claim up to $2 per workday to a maximum of $400 for the taxation year 2020 and to a maximum of $500 for taxation years 2021 and 2022, without the need to track detailed home expenses. It was a simple flat-rate process that was included as part of completing the T1 general return.

The temporary flat rate method does not apply to the 2024 tax year.

Most employees at Dalhousie have the option to work from home, and it is not a requirement of employment. CRA has issued new criteria surrounding the T2200 and if an employee has voluntarily entered into a formal telework arrangement with their employer, the employee is considered to have been required to work from home. As a result, if you are in a voluntary work from home arrangement that meets the 50% threshold and you require a T2200 Detailed form, please ask your department to complete it. Included here is a link to the T2200

If you have any questions regarding T2200鈥檚, please contact kmacderm@dal.ca directly.
