• Plus if your trip is over 80 kms one way, you and your companion* can claim:

  • $23 per meal up to $69 a day (per person).

  • The full cost of over-night accommodations.

  • The full cost of parking.

*your companion must be necessary to the trip in order to consider
them as an eligible expense (e.g. they’re driving you).
