When it comes to filing taxes for a summer job, how much does it differ from full time employment, including credits and benefits you might now be entitled to? If you work somewhere where earnings wouldn’t show up on a T4 slip, such as tips from a restaurant job, it’s your responsibility to keep track of how much you earned in tips and report that amount to the CRA as well. But what of this can be claimed as expenses on your tax return? When you claim moving expenses, you’re limited in the amount you can claim by the amount of your employment income or, in the case of full-time students, taxable income from scholarships, bursaries, fellowships or prizes in your new location. When moving to the place where you're working for the summer, this won’t be a problem – your moving expenses aren’t going to exceed what you earned from your summer job.

🌍 Foreign Business Income Taxes in Canada Explained
If you're a Canadian earning income from outside the country—whether through freelancing, consulting, e-commerce, or international clients—you may have foreign business income that must be reported to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).
In this video, Allan Madan, CPA, explains how foreign business income works for Canadian taxpayers and what reporting requirements apply. Many Canadians assume income earned in a U.S. PayPal account, Wise account, or foreign bank account doesn’t need to be reported in Canada. In reality, Canadian residents must report worldwide income regardless of where the money is paid or held.
This video covers what counts as foreign business income, who must report it, how currency conversion works, and the key tax forms involved. You’ll also learn how to avoid double taxation using foreign tax credits and when additional reporting—such as Form T1135—may be required.
Whether you’re a freelancer with overseas clients, an online business selling internationally, or a company operating across borders, understanding these rules is essential to staying compliant and avoiding costly CRA penalties.
