Are you an Ontario resident who did some travelling within Ontario this year? If so, make sure you keep your receipts for your accommodation expenses – such as for a hotel, cottage, or campground – because you can claim this on your 2022 taxes.

The Details:

• You must be an Ontario Resident as of December 31, 2022
• Only one person per family can claim the credit, but your claim can include expenses paid by your spouse, common-law partner, or an eligible child
• Eligible expenses include costs for accommodations relating to leisure travel, such as at hotels, motels, resorts, lodges, B&Bs, or campgrounds
• This is a refundable tax credit, so individuals can get up to $200 back, while a family can get back up to $400.
• The credit is calculated as 20% of what you’ve spent on eligible accommodations up to a yearly maximum amount ($1,000 for individuals, $2,000 for families) and is handled via your personal income tax return
