What Is A T2200?

A T2200, in other words, a Declaration of Conditions of Employment, is a form that an employer must provide to an employee when said employee’s position causes them to incur expenses, potentially because the job requires them to work from home.

A T220 is typically shared as a PDF to simplify the process. This PDF can be filled out electronically (as a fillable form), or printed out and completed manually. The Government of Canada provides both versions, which can be found on their website here.
