From one Canadian to another: I just clarified with Revenue Canada that even if you’re unpublished or haven’t made any money, you can claim writing conferences (up to 2 per year) as a business expense.

Cheers,
Moira

Thank you for this great list, especially the Canadian information. I knew about the TWUC publication (2002) but thought I’d let you know there is also a very good Q&A on the PWAC site that answers all kinds of questions writers may have about the GST:

All best and write reams,
