Allowances that employees do not have to account for are called non-accountable allowances.... [A] non-accountable allowance for incidental relocation or moving expenses of $650 or less [is considered] to be a reimbursement of expenses that employees incurred because of the move. Therefore, this type of allowance is not taxable. For [Canada Revenue Agency] to consider it as a reimbursement for incidental expenses, employees have to certify in writing that they incurred expenses for at least the amount of the allowance, up to a maximum of $650. 1, record 1, English, - non%2Daccountable%20allowance

Une allocation dont l'utilisation n'est pas à justifier vise les frais accessoires de réinstallation ou de déménagement d'un employé. Si une allocation est de 650 $ ou moins, [...] il s'agit d'un remboursement des dépenses que l'employé a engagées pour le déménagement. Cette allocation n'est donc pas imposable. L'employé doit alors attester par écrit qu'il a engagé des frais accessoires pour un montant équivalent à l'allocation reçue, jusqu'à un maximum de 650 $. 1, record 1, French, - allocation%20qui%20n%27a%20pas%20%C3%A0%20%C3%AAtre%20justifi%C3%A9e
