A group of grade six pupils from the Newcastle Public School filled in for an absentee tearo and amazed everyone with their knowledge By Larry Bookman, CA (MC) - The job market being what it is in Canada loday, a lot of employees would jump at the offer of a transfer - especially where an employer agrees te reimburse the moving expenses., The plus side is that reîmbursed expenses usually arc net taxable. Usually - but don'î count onil. Se it's important that boîh em- ployer and empleyee get some tax advice from a chartercd account- ant, because the way these pay- menLs are te bc strucîured is cri ti- cal. Relocation expcnses cover a whole lot morecthanjusîîhccostof a moving van. And Revenue Canada recognizes this. For example, somneof thccxpenscs yeu may enceuniter include: " Less on the sale of your present residence. " Mortgage discharge penalties. *Lcase cancellation charges (if you're rentîng). I ntcrest costs on bridge financ ing (if you have te buy a house in your ncw location before your old residence is sold.) *Legal fees and land transfer tax for the purchase of a new rcsi- dence. *Moving cosLs of personal items and lîeusehold effecis. *Reasonable inîçrim living ex- pcn.es at your newl Iccatiori whilc waiting eccupancy of permanent accomamodation. So suppose you're transfrring frein Toronto, wherce you bouglit your lieuse at the hîgh end cf the market and havei to seil ncw at a loss. Providcd you cati prove Le Revette Caluada iluai yen have, ini (act, sîtffervid a Iess, iluen your .eiii loycr cai ritiliuse yenl'or that loss ntin taxabfle. But what Revenue Canada is having trou ble with is where your employer makes a -lump sum allowance (known as an "accom- mnodation differential") te com- pensate you. Revenue Canada takes the view that an allowance is one thing (and taxable) while a rcim- bursement is something else (non- taxable.) Se where there's an actual loss Revenue Canada seems te go along wîth it. But they obviously don't like yeu te geltadifferential, which they view as a taxable benefit. The decision te relocate,àaIbest, is net an easy one make. But when the reiinhursemientcf a widc range of cxpensesis guar-anteed, it makes the decision a lot casier for an cmptoyee. lndeed, many people wculd simply refuse e t ove un- less they had that assurance. So if- you- sliuld bc offered a inove by ycur employer, there's a lot cf lhinking and tax planning te be donc before ycu agree.
