You will need a detailed receipt proving the associated expenses have been paid by you, your spouse or an eligible child. These expenses for your Ontario accommodations will need to have been subjected to Harmonized Sales Tax. You can only claim the Staycation Tax Credit if you have not been reimbursed for your expenses by anyone, including a friend or employer.
Ensure your receipt outlines the location of the accommodation, the amount that was paid for the accommodation, the HST paid, the date of the stay and who made the payment.
