Question juridique clé
Whether the taxpayer could deduct commuting costs as a fixed home-to-work journey despite working as a field employee without a fixed workplace.
Solution extraite
No fixed work commute could be defined; the taxpayer traveled daily from home to customers in his sales territory, so the authority’s overall mileage method was correct.
Motifs extraits
Because the taxpayer had no fixed workplace, there was no separable commuting route. The correct approach was to calculate total business kilometres, deduct employer reimbursement and amortization compensation, and then allow the remaining deductible vehicle costs.
