The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has indicated that it will not be extending its guidance concerning the impact of travel restrictions on corporate residency determinations. In 2020, the CRA issued guidance concerning international income tax issues in light of COVID-19 travel restrictions. The guidance indicated that, as of March 16, 2020, when determining cases of potential dual corporate residency, the CRA will not consider a corporation to have its place of effective management in Canada solely for the reason that a director of a corporation must participate in board meetings from Canada because of travel restrictions.

In December the CRA announced new guidance for employees deducting home office expenses. These changes are likely to be welcomed by thousands of Canadian workers who suddenly find themselves commuting to their kitchen tables. However, certain workers are not able to take advantage of the new procedure, either because they worked from home before the pandemic, or because they do not meet a threshold of working from home at least 50% of the time over a 4-week period.
