Breaking News.....just in!

Right now our company has a fairly adequate supply of tests however, apparently, the federal and provincial governments have absorbed most of the manufacturers supplies of Rapid tests with their free testing programs across Canada

If we run out, we do have a plan in place. We will notify you of this plan if it comes to having our supply depleted.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Some thoughts to ponder.......income tax claims.

Okay, don’t know if anyone else has thought about this or not yet. It has come up amongst my rapid testing clients from time to time.

Keep all receipts from your rapid testing. If the government and your employer are going to force you to pay for your testing, then you have the right to claim it for income tax regardless of what they say or will say in the future about it. So claim it no matter what.

Now if you are a business owner and you require to get tests for yourself for business reasons, or you pay for your staff’s testing, then you have a right to claim it as a deduction. I highly encourage you to consider this. It may be in your best interest to provide it for your staff. I do.

For those who work for SHA and have it being deducted off your check, come January 1, you start pushing SHA to provide receipts. And I mean push. If they are taking it off your checks and not putting the deduction on your T4, then they need to provide a receipt to you. Check into how they are going to show this deduction at tax time and if it is not included in any way, demand a receipt.

There are other ways to push the bu****it of this agenda. If they are going to mandate V’s or tests and force you to pay for the tests, then they need to give you a tax break.

So far any info I have found on the matter has been pre-mandate. CRA has stated that it has to be prescribed by a doctor. However doctors don’t prescribe these rapid tests unless it is done thru an SHA (not private SHA Approved) government/hospital testing centres. Which is what was being done before the mandates.

CRA will try to say you can only claim it only if it is ordered by a doctor. But I say push it through regardless. Even if you have to find another category to claim it under. If it is required to work or do business, then it should be eligible as a write off or a claim. If enough of us do it, we may just overwhelm the system. I intend to do this. Even if it is denied. I may even contest it.

I am not an accountant and I am not giving you tax advise. I am simply encouraging another form of protest here.

Let’s put pressure on the government in other ways. Kick them where it hurts......their money!

I get numerous requests for PCR tests from people who want to travel.

At this point we do not offer the PCR or any molecular testing required for commercial travel. We have looked into it and have determined that federal travel rules are too unstable to warrant the purchase of such an expensive machine at this point.

Federally, there is talk about changing the short stay rules (cross border stays of less than 72 hours) to allow for rapidtests. No word has been given if and when this will come into effect.

We recommend you follow the Canadian travel website to follow up on any travel regulations. Travel.gc.ca
