Hogg v. Canada, 2002 DTC 7037, 2002 FCA 177 -- summary under Paragraph 8(1)(h.1)

By services, 28 November, 2015

The taxpayer, who was a judge of the Ontario Provincial Court, Criminal Division, was not able to deduct the cost of travelling to and from his home to the Court House in his own car or of travelling in his car when presiding away from the Court House or when attending meetings in other locations. Nadon J.A. stated (at para. 12):

"... a plain reading of both the French and English text of paragraph 8(1)(h.1) of the Act makes it clear that the words 'motor vehicle expenses incurred for travelling in the course of the office ...' necessarily require that these expenses be incurred by the taxpayer while performing the duties of his office."
