As Tax Filing Opens, Awareness Gap Risks Millions of Canadians Missing Out on Work-From-Home Tax Claims

Employer support is uneven, with 60% of remote workers receiving no guidance and only 23% obtaining the required signed T2200 form. Consequently, millions risk leaving legitimate tax refunds on the table.
