Expense Re-imbursements

Hi David,   I am employed by a Canadian Employer and does the work for a Company in America in Canada for their 4 months project. All my day to day expenses that I have is re-imbursed to me after sending my bills to that company. They send me a US dollar check. Does this have any tax implicatios. This is not an income but only the re-imbursements for the bills payed using my credit card.   Please let me know your thoughts on it.   Regards,

The expense reimbursement is not taxable unless there is an excess payment for unaccounted for meals or mileage.

Just make sure that you keep copies of every receipt that you send off.  This is so that you have them to show to the CRA just in case they want to tax you on the reimbursement cheques. �
