Every year, thousands of Canadian workers pay hundreds \u2014 sometimes thousands \u2014 in union dues and professional fees, then completely whiff on claiming them at tax time. You&#8217;re already shelling out for these mandatory payments; not deducting them is like handing the taxman extra cash for no good reason. The good news? The CRA actually makes this deduction pretty straightforward, but there are traps you need to sidestep.<\/p>\n\n    <div class=\"vftc-highlight-box\">\n        <h3>Quick Answer: Your Union Dues Are Deductible<\/h3>\n        <p><strong>Claim 100% of eligible union dues and professional fees on line 21200 of your T1 return<\/strong>. If you&#8217;re an employee, your employer reports these in box 44 of your T4 slip. The average Canadian union member pays around $800 annually in dues \u2014 that&#8217;s roughly $120 back in your pocket at a 15% federal tax rate.
