What mining engineers can claim in Canada

In Canada an employee can only deduct employment expenses on Form T777 where the employer certifies the conditions of employment on a signed Form T2200, and the allowable categories are narrow (with special rules for commissioned, transport, tradesperson, apprentice mechanic, artist and musician employees), whereas a self-employed person reports on Form T2125 (or T2042 farming, T2121 fishing, T776 rental) and may deduct any reasonable business expense plus capital cost allowance.

You can only claim the work-related portion, you must have spent the money yourself without reimbursement, and you need a record to prove it.
