Good evening, parking for employment, am I able to claim this?

If you’re self-employed, a freelancer or a small business owner, you already know you’re able to deduct most expenses you accumulate to earn business income and that includes parking.

In particular, you can claim business travel expenses and business vehicle expenses. So, if you travel to a business conference and have to pay for parking, it’s deductible as a travel expense. Similarly, if you drive to a client’s office and pay for parking, that’s also deductible. 

If you are a salaried employee and you pay to park at your office you cannot deduct it as an employment expense. However, if you pay parking fees in order to earn commission, you can deduct your expenses as long as they weren’t for parking at your employer’s office.
