1 Rates are declining balance unless otherwise indicated. Property acquired after November 20, 2018 generally qualifies for an enhanced deduction in the first year of 150% of the deduction normally granted, at the rate applicable to the class. This measure does not apply to property that is fully deductible in the first year. 2 Includes additions and modifications made to a building included in a separate class even though the building was acquired before March 19, 2007 (date this measure came into effect). 3 100% for property acquired after April 18, 2021 by a CCPC that is available for use before 2024, up to an annual ceiling of $1.5 million to be shared among associated corporations. The $1.5M ceiling is not reduced by the cost of property that already qualifies for the 100% CCA in the first year, that is class 43.1, 43.2, 53, 54, 55, 56 property and some class 12 property (as well as eligible intellectual property and computer equipment in class 50 in Quebec). For individuals and partnerships composed of individuals and/or CCPCs, these rules apply for property acquired after 2021. 4 Eligible zero-emission vehicles are 100% deductible in the first year (for acquisitions prior to March 2, 2020, the vehicle had to be new). Eligible property must be classified under classes 54 (ceiling $61,000 + tax) or 55, according to its characteristics. 5 Straight-line capital cost allowance over the lease term (including the first renewal period), for a minimum of 5 years and a maximum of 40 years. 6 60% rate in Quebec for new vehicles. 7 For property available for use before 2024 (rate reduced to 75% for property available for use in 2024 and 2025 and to 55% in 2026 and 2027). Additional deduction in Quebec equal to 30% of the capital cost allowance claimed in the previous year for new property. 8 In Quebec, 100% rate for property available for use before 2024 plus an additional 30% deduction for capital cost allowance claimed in the previous year for new property. 9 Includes automotive equipment acquired after March 1, 2020, other than an automotive vehicle designed or adapted to be used on highways and streets (class 54 and 55 property) that is fully electric or powered by hydrogen or a combination of the two.
