BLSM Posted February 5, 2021 Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 Hello, and thanks in advance for your help. For my 2020 tax filing, my 12 month period covers Sept. 2019 to Sept 2020. I had 4 medical trips - 2 in each year, that I am claiming meals and mileage for. Do I use the 2019 mileage rate for the first two trips (54.5 / km in BC), and the 2020 rate for the last two (52.0 / km )? Or, do I use the 2020 rate for all, since that is the year I'm filing, even though 2 trips were in the previous calendar year? Same with meals - in 2019 they were 17.00 each, and in 2020, they were 23.00 each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTaxSmith Posted February 6, 2021 Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 Hello BLSM. You claim the allowable rates based on the date it occurred. So a 2019 trip uses the 2019 rates and the 2020 trip uses the 2020 rates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
