2. Fill out the pages "T2125 - Business identification" and "Income, expenses".

3. On the sub-section "Motor vehicle expenses" on the right-hand side of the page, select the type of vehicle you are using.

4. On the line "Short term car rental fees (100%)", enter the amount you are claiming for the federal. For Quebec, click the "Maple leaf" icon and enter $0.00 in the new field.

5. Return to the line "Maintenance and repair for the year". You probably entered an amount for the maintenance or repair; otherwise enter $0.00. Click on the "Maple Leaf" icon, and in the field for Quebec, add your short-term rental costs to the cost of maintenance and repair.
