理髮、乾洗費﹕人們不能明確申報這些項目﹐但T-4表格的申報人每年大約有150元的乾洗及理髮抵稅額。- 明報
Hair cuts, dry cleaning, clothes
These cannot be claimed specifically, but there is a general tax credit available to any one with a T-4. It provides about $150 savings each year to cover expenses such as dry cleaning and hair cuts. Filers do not need to itemize or list their expenses on their returns, but are instead eligible for the deduction if they file for it. - ctv.ca

anyone has any further information?  which line should we report the $150?

i know personal expense is not deductible, but since mingpao & ctv also mentioned they can be claimed under general tax credit, i thought there is something i miss.

seems like noone really knows about this.  i asked few accountants, but they have no idea at all.  definitely not employment credit la.

I emailed ctv, hope they will give me some details.

that's right, let see what will they say.

how many divisions in call center does cra has this year ar?  seems like an agent only repose in one area.  an agent used to be responsible for all areas ma.

"""But isn't it better? one agent is specialized in an area which your questions are more likely to be answered correctly?"""
yes, more confident, but long wait.  i need to wait 3x more ma.  and two of my questions needed to refer to someone in the east, wait another day ar.
but i think actually it is good, at least they removed the recording, something like " the agent is not responsible for the accuracy of the answer", i remember they have it for few years.
