Question
Canada Post Employees and their expense claims.
Anyone dealt with small rural post offices?
Canada Post pays the person running the facility as an employee, on a T4, which shows an amount in Box 40 for taxable allowances. The employee is required to pay the rent, phone and maintenance expenses - and does so - but there is no T2200. The actual expenses usually exceed the Box 40 amount, which I assume represents these costs but can't confirm.
It's a bizarre arrangement. They could be contractors, but are on payroll with all deductions, etc. How to make sense of this?
