When filing taxes, employees in certain professions can benefit from small adjustments that allow them to save a little on taxes, but these are rare.
“There aren’t many professions that don’t pay taxes,” H&R Block spokesman Yannick Lemay said in an interview with QMI Agency.
Only clergy and people who have taken a vow of poverty benefit from a real tax exemption.
However, certain professions could benefit from different tax liability, Mr Lemay explained.
This is particularly true for people who act as host families and receive state benefits.
Local elected officials also benefit from a certain amount of relief through a subsidy for the expenses they incur as part of their work.
“This allowance is not taxable in Quebec, but is taxable at the federal level. “You save a lot of taxes in this regard,” emphasized the spokesman.
Exclude some of your income
If expenses were incurred as part of your professional activity, it is possible to exclude part of your income from tax.
“Ultimately, that person has incurred expenses, so they still have less money in their pocket. “She hasn’t necessarily gotten richer,” Mr. Lemay noted.
Occupations are often cheaper for these expenses. For example, we find construction companies who often travel with their own work equipment, or road workers who are on the move almost every day.
