A kilometre rate is not the same as a tax deduction.

An employee allowance example.

At the 2026 provincial rates, 6,000 eligible business kilometres would give a reference allowance of $4,320: 5,000 × $0.73, plus 1,000 × $0.67. This is an allowance amount, not the employee’s tax saving.

Self-employed expenses use a different calculation.

For mixed-use vehicles, self-employed claims generally use the business share of eligible actual costs. For instance, 40% business use applied to $10,000 of eligible shared vehicle costs gives $4,000 before any applicable limits or adjustments. Keep the underlying receipts and vehicle-use records.

What the estimate in Klicksy means.

Klicksy displays an allowance estimate based on recorded business kilometres, the trip’s tax year and the selected Canadian jurisdiction. Treat it as a reference for an allowance, rather than a refund, a tax saving or a completed expense claim.

Check your trip purposes and jurisdiction, then use the exported mileage with the expense records needed for your situation.

Business driving needs a business reason.

For employees, driving between home and a regular workplace is generally personal; point-of-call and other exceptions depend on the circumstances. A saved destination or an automatic “Business” label does not establish tax eligibility. Review the purpose of the drive.
