    If you are a resident of Ontario on December 31, 2022, and if you pay to stay somewhere in the province between January 1 to December 31, 2022, then you are likely to qualify for the tax credit. Ontario residents can claim 20% of their eligible 2022 accommodation expenses, for example, for a stay at a hotel, cottage, or campground, when filing their personal Income Tax and Benefit Return for 2022.

     

    You can claim the Ontario Staycation Tax Credit for accommodation expenses for a leisure stay of less than a month in Ontario, at a short-term accommodation or camping accommodation, such as a:

    • hotel
    • motel
    • resort
    • lodge
    • bed-and-breakfast establishment
    • cottage
    • campground
    • vacation rental property
