Appendix A1– Application of Residence Rule
Step 1:
Click on the Need driving directions reference tool on the CRA Travel sites. Determine if residence is inside or outside the Headquarters Area.
Step 2:
If the residence is more than 16 km from the workplace (outside Headquarters Area), the Residence Rule will apply. Proceed to step 3. If the residence is equal to or less than 16 km from the workplace, the Residence Rule does not apply (inside Headquarters Area) and there is no need to proceed further with step 3 and 4 below.
Step 3:
Determine if the first and/or last point of call (POC) is within the Headquarters Area. If the POC is equal to or less than 16 km from the workplace, proceed to step 4. If the POC is more than 16km from the workplace, the Residence Rule does not apply.
Step 4:
First, determine the Residence Rule constant distance factor by using Calculation A. Then, determine the calculated distance paid by using Calculation B.
Calculation A: Do the following calculations by inserting the applicable distances (see example below)
Example | ||
Residence (R) to workplace (WP) is | _____km | 25 km |
Less: Perimeter to WP is | _____km | 16 km |
Constant distance factor is | _____km | 9 km |
Calculation B: Do the following calculations by inserting the applicable distances (see examples below)
Example 1
Example | ||
Residence (R) to POC 1 | _____km | 20 km |
Less: Constant distance factor | _____km | 9 km |
Calculated distance paid is | _____km | 11 km |
Example 2
Example | ||
Residence (R) to POC 2 | _____km | 35 km |
Less: Constant distance factor | _____km | 9 km |
Calculated distance paid is | _____km | 26 km |
Example: Perimeter of Headquarters Area
