Addition of a new Vehicle Category - 56

The government proposes that the vehicle or equipment should be powered by an engine (i.e., self-propelled) and either fully electric or powered by hydrogen,

Class 56 would apply to qualifying zero-emission motor vehicles and equipment acquired after March 1, 2020, that are ready for service before 2028. This category included automotive equipment that is not designed to operate on public roads or on streets such as aircraft, boats, trolleybuses, and zer0-emission railway locomotives.

A taxpayer would be entitled to claim the enhanced deduction in respect of a qualifying zero-emission vehicle or equipment only for the taxation year in which the vehicle will be ready for service for the first time.

Enhanced deduction rate improved for the first year:

*Announcement day -2003       100 % enhanced deduction

*2024 - 2025                               75 % enhanced deduction

*2026 - 2027                               55 %   enhanced deduction

*2028 and thereafter                   30 %

CCA will apply to any balance remaining in Class 56 using the declining balance method, at a rate of 30 %.
