Relocation packages are a common benefit when a company or organization asks an individual to relocate for work. Relocation packages can come in the form of stipends for moving, salary bonuses, temporary housing, long distance moving services covered by the company, or other valuable help for getting settled into a new home-and life!

While relocation expenses are not tax benefits for companies, according to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), an employee may be able to claim expenses as taxable benefits. There may also be benefits on a relocation loan provided by the employee's company.

Monster.ca has an excellent article that fleshes out tax benefits when moving for work or school.

Relocation packages may include temporary accommodation or even subsidized housing. Sometimes people who have to relocate for work are put up in a home that's fully paid for by the company-it might be cheaper than paying for ongoing travel expenses.

If asked to relocate for work, it's important to do a little research about the intended destination. With a little information and understanding, employees will be in a stronger position to negotiate long distance relocation packages with their companies.
