TP-66-V: Employment Expenses of Transport Employees

If you work in the transportation industry (as a railway, airline, bus, or trucking company employee) and your route requires you to travel outside your employer’s municipality or far enough away that you can’t return home at the end of the day, you might be able claim a deduction for your meals and accommodation expenses using form TP-66-V.

Note: You can’t claim expenses that were reimbursed to you by your employer.

If you have multiple employers, you’ll need to enter the information for the work you’ve done and the expenses you paid while working for them, separately.

Note: If you’re going to be claiming the cost of meals and lodging that you had to pay as a long-haul truck driver on your tax return, you’ll need to get your employer to fill out and sign Part 2 of a paper TP-66-V form. Keep this in your records in case Revenu Québec asks to see it later.

As a transportation employee, you might also be able to claim a Québec sales tax (QST) rebate for the QST you paid on your expenses, as long as you deducted these expenses from your employment income.

Federal return: To claim a deduction for your meals and accommodation expenses on your federal return, you’ll need to complete the TL2 page of H&R Block's tax software.
