just FYI, I called Revenue Canada about this, and you can’t write off groceries unless you get a special ruling from them.

I thought that it was very unfair. Let’s say you work at home, but go out to eat lunch – the cost of that lunch is tax deductible. But if you stay in at home and have lunch, you can’t deduct that money.

It’s unfair, but I can see how people might try writing off all sorts of grocery bills and claim it was for business. So I requested a special ruling/exception. Waiting to get a letter from them.

I always eat in while I’m working on my biz – so great to know. Thanks!
