Meal expenses and GST

Tax Topics
1

When a self-employed claims meal expenses on T2125 and the client is entitled to 50%, how should he calculate his GST? Is he allowed to claim 100% GST paid on the full amount or should he claim 50% of GST too as he is allowed to claim only 50% on T2125?

I don’t know the specific section of the ETA, but you can claim only 50% of the GST on meals - same as the 50% deduction for income tax.
