Meal allowance or expense

meal allowance 50%, but client generally consumes 50% or more - client has several subway and Domino pizza which he claims is for staff meetings and when staff works overtime.   Can client claim as eligible expense since he consumes 5% of expense or still stick with the 50% rule?

Meal allowance or expense

Hello Rose,

There are a few exceptions to the 50% limitation. I would recommend reviewing the interpretation bulletin here:

and https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/businesses/topics/sole-proprietorships-partners...

Hope that helps in getting you started
