Need Excel spreadsheet that lists Canadian tax deductions for home business?

I rent out one unit of the dwelling plus I am a consultant. I just need a pre exsiting excel spreadsheet that suggests what things I can write off so I can input my receipts

1. you're entitled to the same decuctions as any other business. However I'm guessing you're looking for a deeper discussion including how much of your mortgage interest, utilities, property taxes etc you can write off vis-a-vis your home. Seeing your update: you'll have to claim rental income from the tenant. However you can claim expenses against that such as a portion of mortgate interest, utilities, condo fees. All of it will be pro-rated. For the home business, I'm guessing you're thinking of claiming office expenses. Are you a self-employed consultant. The CRA has a series of tests to determine if you can claim home office expenses. http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/tax/business/topics/solepartner/businessexpenses/home-e.html As to an excel spreadsheet. I have one but it doesn't suggest expense categories and does not include home office expenses, since I don't meet the test myself.
