What is the detailed method for claiming moving expenses?
If you use the detailed method, you must keep track of all your motor vehicle expenses for the entire year and calculate your deduction as a percentage of the total kilometres driven. For example, suppose the distance you moved was 2,000 kilometres, your total mileage for the year was 20,000 kilometres, and your total vehicle expenses for the year were $5,000. Your deduction would then be $500, calculated as (2,000/20,000km) x $5,000.
