tax question: TWP a deductible expense?
Has anyone successfully claimed the cost of their temporary work permits as an employment expense on their previous tax returns?
Couldn't find anything on the CRA site that it wasn't possible...

If you are an employee the number of expenses you can deduct are very limited. There are explained here http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/E/pub/tg/t4044/t4044-e.html
I don't see the cost of a TWP. Nice try though.
