      Yes, but the expense must be directly related to your business activities and substantiated.

    Hey there are you able to elaborate how this would work for DoorDash Drivers in Canada..
    it is my 3rd week from Vancouver Island working as a doordash delivery driver. Doordash doesn't send T4 Slips which requires this T2125 to be done.

    • @instaccountant
      @instaccountant  10 місяців тому +1

      Doordash does not provide T4 slips. Instead, they provide earnings statements sent by email.

    I have bought and sold a house in 2023, so it is getting taxed as business income. I am wondering what should I input for line 3A, as I did not pay HST for selling my house just for the realtors commissions?

    • @instaccountant
      @instaccountant  9 місяців тому

      Enter the total selling price of the house.

    Thank you Murtaza for the great video, what about when a self-employed, herself is issued a T4 for a employee helper, of course payroll account is already registered with CRA. Where does this expense go in T2125?

    • @instaccountant
      @instaccountant  Рік тому +1

      You need to report on line 8 of Schedule 7, under Salaries and wages. This is an expense that reduces your net income from your business.

    Hello thank You for the video. Question. If I was an employee from January to May 2022 and became a sole proprietor in June 2022 should I file my taxes with those two incomes at the same time or as an employee only and do the sole proprietor later at the end of the fiscal year

    • @instaccountant

      You will file at the same time. Same tax return will carry both income information. You can email at info@instaccountant.com⁣ if you need any help.

    I watched this video 3 times, before, during and after I filed my form! Very informative. I have a question, when entering the total lease charges and manufacturer's list price for the leased car, should I enter values including HST or not? I understand that all numbers in this form are without, but I think numbers in Chart C won't be compatible if I don't enter HST because the allowable amounts include HST (the 800 or 900 per month and 30,000 or 34,000 max capital, and the max MSRP of 40,000). If yes, and for the final eligible lease cost, do I add the corresponding ITC in my HST filing or this was already used in the calculation so I should not claim any ITC for lease charges? Thanks a lot.
