Equipment write-offs

[mom-in-alberta]

I have never been audited, but through the experiences of my friends and family I have learned that it is not a good idea to write off anything you do not have some form of paperwork for!!
In theory, yes you could write it off. You do not have to submit the receipts with your taxes, we just keep them in our own records. However, should you ever be scrutinized, CRA does NOT take kindly to this.
So, what the girls above said is true.... just make sure you have something!
