Yes, it's income but read your contractor agreement and consult your local tax authority

You usually have to make over $600 a year before you have to file, at least in my state

The way I read the contracts for Canada is you claim any income for work, now the issue of taxable benefit of items reimbursed is another issue. I have an email from shopping contractor saying to toss the items after so I see that as a non taxible benefit. Also as a contractor I feel you should write off related expenses: say dataplan usage, or for those that require a data tablet that cost.

Always show income even if it falls below the specified limit in your country/state of residence. It doesn’t hurt to download the Excel sheet from the payment tab and also save it for future reference.


Remember documentation will save a lot of headaches if if the tax folks come knocking.
