Radon Measurement Professionals, CARST and the Canadian Lung Association have written to CRA for clarification on if radon services can be claimed on income taxes. The Canadian Revenue Agency has confirmed that an employee (salaried and commission) may deduct a portion of the cost for radon testing (for example, a radon test kit or the services of a radon measurement professional) as a work-space-in-the-home expense, as such costs are incurred for the maintenance of the home and this same inclusion is extended to a self-employed individual.
However, where it is determined that a radon mitigation system is needed at the employee’s home, the cost of such equipment (including installation), cannot be deducted because the amount is on account of capital. We have posted the information on our website and we have begun to communicate this out to homeowners so you may get questions, but we also encourage you to use this in your own advertising.
Over 3000 Canadians die each year due to radon-related lung cancer. A Healthy Home is a Mitigated Home!
