Form T101A Claim for Renouncing Canadian Exploration Expenditures (Cees) and Canadian Development Expenditures (Cdes) - Canada

Form T101A, Claim for Renouncing Canadian Exploration Expenditures (CEEs) and Canadian Development Expenditures (CDEs), is a form used in Canada for certain tax purposes. It allows taxpayers who have incurred eligible expenses related to exploration and development activities in the country to renounce these expenses to another party, known as the renunciation recipient.

By renouncing these expenses, the renunciation recipient can deduct them against their own income for tax purposes. This can provide a financial benefit to the renunciation recipient, as they can reduce their taxable income and potentially lower their tax liability.
