A city measured in kilometres
Greater Sudbury had 166,004 people in 2021, spread over 3,186 square kilometres, about 52.1 to the square kilometre. Statistics Canada's latest count found 4,605 businesses with employees, led by health care (680), retail (617) and construction (566).
Distances like that make driving a real business cost. Home care visits, service calls and site work all add kilometres, and how a business pays for them decides the tax. An allowance tied to the kilometres actually driven for work can be paid tax free; a flat monthly amount generally cannot. HBT works from Calgary and handles Sudbury files remotely.

Common question
How much can a Sudbury business pay per kilometre without it becoming taxable?
An allowance based only on kilometres driven for work, at a reasonable rate, is not taxable for the employee. The CRA's 2026 rates, 73¢ a kilometre for the first 5,000 kilometres and 67¢ after that, are also the most the business can deduct for a tax free allowance. A flat amount not tied to distance is generally taxable income.
