CRA Crackdown On Truck Drivers 2026 | Eligibility Rules Explained

Описание: Many Canadian truck drivers are being reassessed by CRA for meal deductions they’ve claimed for years.
The rules haven’t changed — but enforcement has.
In this video, I explain why CRA is denying long-haul meal deductions in 2025 and 2026, how audits are being triggered, and what owner-operators and incorporated truckers need to understand before claiming this expense again.

If you’re a long-haul driver, owner-operator, or run a trucking corporation, this video will help you understand:

When the simplified meal method actually applies
Why CRA is no longer accepting claims “by default”
The documentation CRA now expects to see
Common mistakes that are leading to reassessments
How thousands of dollars in tax and interest can add up quickly
What to do if you’ve already received a CRA letter

This is not about new laws or political changes.
It’s about how CRA is enforcing existing rules — and how to protect yourself.
