Konecny had been deducting his moving expenses between the two cities for 25 years, all legally allowed under government tax rules. The Canadian Revenue Agency says it allows people to claim moving expenses if you relocate at least 40 kilometres closer to work. Konecny said he was told by the CRA his moves to Ottawa in the summer were a working vacation and could not be considered a full move.
At the time, the judge told Konecny that in order to claim the expenses when he moved, he needed to update his driver’s licence and banking information to prove his new residency – which he began to do. "The law is for travel, it doesn’t state what type of vehicle. It doesn’t define how you travel," Konecny said.So in 2018, Konecny packed up a canoe with his essentials and paddled his way to Ottawa. He spent five nights sleeping in provincial parks.
Sounds like a true public employee. how many ways are there to screw the taxpayers.
