In those 3 minutes, you could walk to the bathroom and back, walk in place, do pushups against the wall, do lunges and squats, or any activity that suits you. [2018] - Joy Bauer

CRA issued IT-518 to overview their position with regard to the deductibility of food, beverages and entertainment. Reasonable amounts may be deducted if the costs were incurred in the course of earning income from a business or property. The total costs must be restricted to 50% of the amounts actually paid or payable. You can fully deduct the cost of any meals and beverages served or entertainment provided on planes, trains or buses (but not ships, boats or ferries), so keep a log of those expenditures, as receipts are normally not available, and CRA will allow a reasonable amount as your claim. [2020] - Evelyn Jacks
