NEQ

If your business is registered in the Quebec enterprise register pursuant to the Act respecting the legal publicity of enterprises, you must update the information in your file and pay the annual registration fee.

Annual registration fee
The annual registration fee for a sole proprietorship is $39. However, you do not have to pay this fee for the year in which you registered for the first time or for the following year.

If the enterprise register contains incorrect information or if you declared bankruptcy, check "No" on line 436, enter the Québec enterprise number (NEQ) on line 437 and use the online service at www.registreentreprises.gouv.qc.ca to file the Déclaration de mise à jour annuelle (annual updating declaration). The service is free, fast and easy to use. Onscreen instructions will make it easy for you to update the information in your file. (The service and onscreen instructions are in French only, but you can consult courtesy translation RE-401-T for information purposes.)

If you have ceased your business operations in Québec, you must use the online service at www.registreentreprises.gouv.qc.ca to file a Déclaration de radiation (declaration of striking off). (The service and onscreen instructions are in French only, but you can consult courtesy translation RE-600-T for information purposes.) If you were still listed in the enterprise register on January 1, 2023, you must pay the annual registration fee. If you filed a declaration of striking off before January 1, 2023, you have no fee to pay.

Secondary keywordNI-IndianExempt

Business income
The business income is generally exempt from tax if the actual income-earning activities of the business take place on a reserve. If the business is operated entirely on a reserve, the business income is connected to a reserve and is exempt under section 87 of the Indian Act. If the business activities are mostly carried on off a reserve, the business income is taxable because the exemption under section 87 does not apply.

Determining whether the business income is taxable is based on the factors that connect income to a reserve. The courts have indicated that the most significant connecting factor is the location where the business carries on its revenue-generating activities. If the actual income-earning activities take place on a reserve, the location of the customers is also an important factor. Other connecting factors, which are less important, are listed below.

Connecting factors

  • whether or not you live on a reserve
  • whether you maintain an office on a reserve or take business orders from a location on a reserve
  • whether your books and records are kept on a reserve
  • whether your administrative, clerical, or accounting activities take place on a reserve

Prorating business income and expenses
If some of the revenue-generating activities take place on a reserve and the rest off a reserve, the tax exemption under section 87 of the Indian Act may be prorated. Part of the income will therefore be taxable, and part will be exempt from tax. In such a case, the business expenses will generally be allocated to the taxable part of the income in the same ratio, unless another allocation can be shown to be more reasonable.

Part of the income will therefore be taxable, and part will be exempt from tax. In such a case, the business expenses will generally be allocated to the taxable part of the income in the same ratio, unless another allocation can be shown to be more reasonable.

Partnership
If you are a member of a partnership, your partnership income will be taxed in the same way as any other business income. For purposes of section 87 of the Indian Act, the key factor will be the location of the partnership's income-earning activities.

Under the Income Tax Act, partnership income is first calculated as if the partnership were a separate person. Your share of the partnership income from each source will be allocated to you, and will retain its characteristics as to source and nature.

If all the partnership's income-earning activities are carried out on a reserve, all your income from the partnership will be exempt from tax. If one-half of the partnership's income-earning activities are carried out on a reserve, one-half of your share of the partnership income will be exempt.

Fishing
If you carry on a commercial fishing business, your income from that business is generally treated the same as any other business income. Determining whether your business income is exempt from tax is based on the factors that connect income to a reserve.

In determining whether your commercial fishing business income is connected to a reserve, factors that may connect your business income to a reserve are (i) the location of your fishing activities û catching, preparing and transporting the fish and (ii) the location of your selling activities - including the location of your customers, and the location of the sale of the fish. Your income from a commercial fishing business is generally exempt from tax if the actual fishing activities of your business take place within the geographic boundaries of a reserve. If your fishing activities take place mainly off-reserve and your customers are located off-reserve, your fishing income may not qualify for the exemption under section 87 of the Indian Act. However, other connecting factors, described below, may apply to exempt your fishing income from tax.

On March 20, 2012, the Federal Court of Appeal (FCA) released its decisions in the cases of Ron Ballantyne v. Her Majesty the Queen and Her Majesty the Queen v. Ronald Robertson and Roger Saunders (leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada denied October 25, 2012). In both cases, the FCA found that the fishing income earned by the taxpayers was situated on a reserve and exempt from tax.

The CRA will apply these decisions in similar situations, where the connections between the reserve and the fishing income are bona fide and there is no artificial manipulation of the connecting factors, to exempt all of your fishing income from tax for the 2012 and following tax years.

A similar situation means that all of the following conditions are met:

  • Your fishing activities in waters near or abutting the reserve have a significant historical and continuing important economic connection to the reserve; and
  • You are a member of a cooperative of band members or a member of a band that owns and operates an organization located on the reserve that has a predominant role in your fishing and selling activities and an important role in the general economic life of the reserve.

Where the above conditions are not met and your fishing and selling activities take place off-reserve, your income from fishing will likely be taxable. Where these activities take place both on- and off-reserve, the tax exemption provided for under section 87 of the Indian Act may be prorated. Some of the revenue-generating activities may include preparing the fish for market (e.g., filleting, shelling, icing, canning, freezing, smoking, salting, cooking, and pickling). If this type of processing takes place on a reserve, part of your business income may be exempt, depending on the extent and complexity of the processing done.

The allocation of income between off-reserve fishing activities and on-reserve fish-processing activities is determined on a case-by-case basis and should be reasonable in the circumstances. Since your main revenue-generating activities are catching and selling the fish, the exemption, if any, would usually apply only to that portion of your fishing income that specifically relates to the value-added processing activities that are conducted on a reserve. Your business expenses are generally allocated in the same proportion as your revenues, unless another allocation is more reasonable in the circumstances.

Farming
If you earn farming income, your income from that business is treated the same as any other business income. If your farming activities take place on a reserve, your farming income is generally tax-exempt. If your farming activities take place mainly off a reserve, you have to pay tax on your farming income.

If you are a grain, vegetable, or fruit farmer, the location of the land where your crops are grown or harvested is the most important factor in connecting your income to a reserve. If you are a cattle rancher, the location of your rangeland is the most important connecting factor. If you are involved in other types of farming, the location of your farmland may vary in importance, depending on the nature of your business and the facts of your case. For instance, if your income is from a dairy operation, the location of your milking activities is likely more important than the location of your pastures or hayfields.

If some of your revenue-generating activities from farming take place on a reserve and the rest off a reserve, the exemption may be prorated. Part of your income will therefore be taxable, and part will be exempt from tax. In such a case, your business expenses will generally be allocated to the taxable part of your income in the same ratio, unless another allocation is more reasonable.

Secondary keywordAccounting-Meth

Select the reporting method (cash method or the accrual method) of accounting of the income. Farmers, fishers, and self-employed commissioned agents can use the cash method or the accrual method to report income. All other self-employment income must be reported using the accrual method.

The following options are applicable for the keyword Accounting-Meth.

  • Cash method
  • When you use the cash method, you:
    • report income in the fiscal period you receive it; and
    • deduct expenses in the fiscal period you pay them.

    If you use the cash method and receive a post-dated cheque as security for a debt, include the amount in income when the cheque is payable.

    If you receive a post-dated cheque as an absolute payment for a debt and the cheque is payable before the debt is due, include the amount in your income on one of the following dates, whichever is earlier:

    • the date the debt is payable; or
    • the date you cash or deposit the cheque.
      Note
      The preceding post-dated cheque rules apply to income-producing transactions, such as the sale of fish. They do not apply to transactions involving capital property, such as the sale of a boat. When you use the cash method in a fishing business, do not include inventory when you calculate your income. There are, however, two exceptions to this rule.

    You can include in inventory the cost of your nets and traps. For more information, see Line 9137 . Nets and traps on page 21. A fishing partnership can use the cash method only if all the partners agree to use it.

    For more information on the cash method for fishing income, see the latest archived Interpretation Bulletin IT-433R, Farming or Fishing. Use of Cash Method

  • Accrual method
  • When you use this method you:
    • report income in the fiscal period you earn it, no matter when you receive it; and
    • deduct expenses in the fiscal period you incur them, whether or not you pay them in that period.

    When you calculate your income using the accrual method, the value of all inventories, such as fish, fish by-products, supplies, and so on will form part of the calculation. Make a list of your inventory and count it at the end of your fiscal period. Keep this list as part of your business records. You can use one of the following methods to value your inventory:

    • value all inventory at its FMV. Use either the price you would pay to replace an item, or the amount you would get if you sold an item;
    • value individual items at cost or FMV, whichever is lower (when you cannot easily tell one item from another, you can value the items as a group). Cost is the price you incur for an item, plus any expenses you incur bringing an item to your business location and putting it in a condition so that it can be used in the business.
    Use the same method you used in past years to value your inventory. The value of your inventory at the start of your 2023 fiscal period is the same as the value at the end of your 2022 fiscal period. In your first year of fishing business, you will not have an opening inventory at the start of your fiscal period.

    For more information on inventories, see the latest archived Interpretation Bulletin IT-473R, Inventory Valuation.

    Note
    If you are using the accrual method to calculate your fishing income, you must calculate the cost of the sold goods on a separate sheet. Form T2121 contains no line for this calculation.

When a taxpayer completely converted his or her principal residence to an income-producing use, he or she is deemed by paragraph 45(1)(a) ITA to have disposed of the property (both land and building) at fair market value and reacquired it immediately thereafter at the same amount. Any gain otherwise determined on this deemed disposition may be eliminated or reduced by the principal residence exemption.

By making the election under subsection 45(2) ITA, the taxpayer defers the gain to a subsequent year.

Tax consequences following the election under subsection 45(2) ITA:

  • The asset in question is deemed not to have begun to be used for the purpose of earning income and therefore no deemed disposition.
  • When this choice is made, it is impossible to claim CCA on the asset in order to reduce the income
  • The taxpayer must include their net revenues from expenses other than CCA.
  • If the taxpayer claims CCA, CRA considers that the election was canceled on the first day of the tax year where the deduction is requested.

When the election of subsection 45(2) ITA is made there are 2 possibilities:

  • 1 - Paragraphs (b) and (d) of section 54 allow the property to be designated as a principal residence even if the residence is not inhabited by the owner. This choice is possible over a maximum period of 4 years.
  • 2 - Article 54.1 allows the property to be designated as a principal residence for an unlimited period if :
    • The individual does not live in his residence because of a change in the place of employment or that of his spouse.
    • The new place of employment must be at least 40 kilometers from his residence.
    • He is not related to his employer.
    • He resumes his residence for the duration of his employment or before the end of the year following the year in which he or his spouse leaves his employment or, he dies during the period of his employment or that of his spouse.

    A deduction is available on federal line 24900 for one-half of the inclusion (paragraph 110(1)(d.2)), provided that the included amount is not exempt from tax in Canada by reason of a provision in a tax treaty with another country that has the force of law in Canada. The combined effect of these provisions is essentially the equivalent of capital gains treatment for a sale of the mining property with a zero ACB, although the amount is not characterized as a capital gain under the Act.

    A deduction is available on Quebec line 297 for one-half of the inclusion (sec. 218).

    Any increase in the value of the shares after their acquisition by the prospector will be treated as a capital gain (since the amount included in division B income is the ACB: subsection 52(1)).

    You are not required to pay the Québec Pension Plan (QPP) contribution or the Québec parental insurance plan (QPIP) premium on this amount.

    Note that any commissions owed to you while you operated your business that were not paid in the year you ceased operations must be entered on line 26 of Schedule L.

    The calculation of the QPIP and the QPP for a self-employed worker is based on the business income that the taxpayer operates in the year (see sections 47(1) of the Act respecting the Quebec Pension Plan and sections 43 " business income " and 66 Parental Insurance Act).

    Therefore, commissions received when the business is no longer actively operated should not be included in the calculation of its contributions.

    Appendix R section A for calculating QPIP contributions and grid 445 for calculating QPP contributions are both based on the amount from line 27 of Schedule L. By entering non-eligible commission income on line 30, we avoid increasing the income eligible for contributions.

    At the federal level, the amount of ineligible commission will be reported on line 13000 so as not to be included in the calculation of Schedule 8.

Keyword in subgroupMIA-Purchased

Use the keyword MIA-Purchased to enter the type of inventory and the corresponding purchase year for the purposes of the mandatory inventory adjustment (MIA).

The mandatory inventory adjustment decreases the net loss if the taxpayer held inventory at the end of the fiscal period. It applies to a farmer (other than the fiscal period in which the farmer has died) using the cash method in computing income from a farming business.

You have to make the MIA if all of the following conditions apply:

  • you use the cash method to report your income;
  • you have a net loss on line 9899 of Form T2042 (line 9969 of Forms T1163/T1164/T1273/T1274); and
  • the taxpayer bought inventory and still had it at the end of the 2023 fiscal period. This does not refer only to inventory bought in 2023. It includes inventory the taxpayer had previously bought and still owned at the end of the 2023 fiscal period.
The MIA is the lesser of:
  • the net loss before adjustments on line 9899 (Line 9969 for AgriStability and AgriInvest); or
  • the value of the purchased inventory the taxpayer still had at the end of the 2023 fiscal period.

To value the inventory, you need to know the meaning of the following terms.

Inventory is a group of items that a business holds and intends to consume or sell to its customers. Farm inventory is tangible property that is:

  • held for sale, such as harvested grain;
  • used in the production of saleable goods, such as seed and feed; or
  • in the process of being produced, such as standing crops, or feeder livestock.

Seed that you have already planted, and fertilizer or chemicals that you have already applied, are no longer part of the inventory items, but are included in the value of the standing crop that may be included in the Optional Inventory Adjustment (OIA).

Purchased inventory is inventory bought and paid for.

Specified animals are horses. You may also choose to designate cattle that are registered under the Animal Pedigree Act as specified animals. To make this choice, put a note on the income tax return saying that you want to designate the animal this way. If you indicate on the return that it is a specified animal, the government will continue to consider it as such until you sell it.

Cash cost is the amount you paid to buy your inventory.

Fair market value (FMV) is generally the highest dollar value you can get for your property in an open and unrestricted market between an informed and willing buyer and an informed and willing seller who are dealing with each other at arm's length.

Value of purchased inventory

Except for specified animals, you have to value any purchased inventory that you bought before or during the 2023 fiscal period at the lesser of:

  • the cash cost; or
  • the fair market value.
To determine which amount is less, compare separately each item or group of items in the inventory.

The following options are applicable for the keyword MIA-Purchased.

  • Specified animals (year of purchase 2023 )
  • Specified animals (year of purchase 2022 )
  • Specified animals (year of purchase 2021 )

Specified animal
In the year of acquisition, a farmer may choose to value a "specified animal" at 70% of its cash cost or at a greater amount not exceeding its cash cost.

Subsection 28(1.3) provides a formula for prorating at 70% in taxation years which are less than 51 weeks. The formula is 100 minus (30 x (number of days in the business )/(number of days in the taxation year)).

Valuing the purchased inventory
Value, at one of the following amounts, the specified animals that you bought in your 2023 fiscal period and still have at the end of this period:

  • the cash cost;
  • 70% of the cash cost; or
  • any amount between these two amounts.

Value, at one of the following amounts, the specified animals that you bought before the 2023 fiscal period and still have at the end of this period:

  • the cash cost;
  • 70% of:
    • the value of the specified animals for MIA purposes as determined at the end of the 2022 fiscal period; plus
    • any amounts you paid in the 2023 fiscal period toward the purchase price; or
    • any amount between these two amounts.

If no value is entered, DT Max will use the value calculated at 70% as the chosen value of purchased inventory.

  • Meals expenses (regular travel - Quebec)
  • The deduction of meal expenses (regular travel) incurred in the course of activities related to the business is subject to the 50% limit (or the specified percentage), but not to the ceiling based on sales if the activities take place at a location at least 40 kilometres from the place of business and are usually (that is, on a regular and ongoing basis) carried on at such a distance from the place of business.

If you are a producer in the cultural field and you pay an allowance for meal expenses to an artist who is self-employed, the latter will be considered an employee for the purposes of the deduction for entertainment expenses (but only regarding you). Consequently, if, as an employee, the artist had to report the value of the benefit represented by the allowance as taxable income (or did not have to report it because he or she had to work at a special work site or at a remote location), no limit would apply to the amount you may deduct. However, this exception will apply only where the allowance is paid under a group or individual agreement binding an artist and a producer.

Income from the sale of timber to individuals (the sale of firewood, for example) cannot be averaged.

Supporting documents
Enclose a copy of the valid forest producer's certificate issued for the woodlot by the Ministère des Ressources naturelles et de la Faune.

Secondary keyword in subgroupCCA-Class.car

Choose the applicable CCA class related to the motor vehicle expenses claimed. Class 10.1 requires a separate class for each addition.

Automobiles acquired after June 16, 1987, may have to be added to a separate CCA class if the cost exceeds a specific amount.

The following options are applicable for the keyword CCA-Class.car.

  • Class 10 - 30%
  • Automobiles, except those you use as a taxi or in a daily rental business, including vans, trucks, tractors, wagons, and trailers. General-purpose electronic data-processing equipment (commonly called computer hardware) and systems software. Under proposed legislative changes of March 23, 2004, computer equipment and systems software will be included in new class 45 and the CCA rate will increase from 30% to 45%. The current rule allowing a separate class election is not available for equipment that qualifies for the 45% rate. However, you may elect to have the current rule apply for equipment that is acquired before 2005.
  • Class 10.1 - 30%
  • A passenger vehicle (automobiles costing over $30 000); the depreciable cost is limited to $30 000. No recapture or terminal loss occurs on Class 10.1 disposals and half-year CCA is also allowed in the year of a disposal.
  • Class 54 - 30% (after 18 Mar. 2019 & before 2028)
  • Class 54 was created for zero-emission vehicles acquired after March 18, 2019 that would otherwise be included in Class 10 or 10.1, with the same CCA rate of 30%.

    There is a limit of $55,000 (plus federal and provincial sales taxes), for 2019, on the capital cost for each zero-emission passenger vehicle in Class 54. The limit will be reviewed annually. Class 54 may include both zero-emission passenger vehicles that do and do not exceed the prescribed threshold. However, unlike Class 10.1, Class 54 does not establish a separate class for each vehicle whose cost exceeds the threshold.

    If a zero-emission passenger vehicle is disposed of to a person or partnership with whom you deal at arm's length, and its cost exceeds the prescribed amount, the proceeds of disposition will be adjusted based on a factor equal to the prescribed amount as a proportion of the actual cost of the vehicle. For dispositions made after July 29, 2019, based on proposed legislation, the actual cost of the vehicle will also be adjusted for the payment or repayment of government assistance.

    The enhanced first-year allowance will be calculated by: :

    • 100% after March 18, 2019, and before 2024
    • 75% after 2023 and before 2026
    • 55% after 2025 and before 2028

    The enhanced first-year allowance will be calculated by :

    • increasing the net capital cost addition to the new class for property that becomes available for use before 2028, and applying the prescribed CCA rate for the class as described below :
      • Applying the prescribed CCA rate of 30% to :
        • 2 1/3 times the net addition to the class for property that becomes available for use before 2024
        • 1 1/2 times the net addition to the class for property that becomes available for use in 2024 or 2025
        • 5/6 times the net addition to the class for property that becomes available for use after 2025 and before 2028
    • suspending the existing CCA half-year rule
  • Class 55 - 40% (after 18 Mar. 2019 & before 2028)
  • Class 55 was created for zero-emission vehicles acquired after March 18, 2019 otherwise included in Class 16, with the same CCA rate of 40%.

    The enhanced first-year allowance will be calculated by: :

    • 100% after March 18, 2019, and before 2024
    • 75% after 2023 and before 2026
    • 55% after 2025 and before 2028

    The enhanced first-year allowance will be calculated by :

    • increasing the net capital cost addition to the new class for property that becomes available for use before 2028, and applying the prescribed CCA rate for the class as described below :
      • Applying the prescribed CCA rate of 40% to :
        • 1 1/2 times the net addition to the class for property that becomes available for use before 2024
        • 7/8 times the net addition to the class for property that becomes available for use in 2024 or 2025
        • 3/8 times the net addition to the class for property that becomes available for use after 2025 and before 2028
    • suspending the existing CCA half-year rule
  • Class 56 - 30% (after 1 Mar. 2020 & before 2028)
  • Class 56 includes a temporary enhanced first-year CCA rate of 100% in respect of eligible zero-emission automotive equipment and vehicles that currently do not benefit from the accelerated rate provided by Classes 54 and 55. These vehicles and equipment would be included in new Class 56.

    To be eligible for this first-year enhanced allowance, a vehicle or equipment must be automotive (i.e., self-propelled) and fully electric or powered by hydrogen. Vehicles or equipment that are powered partially by electricity or hydrogen (which includes hybrid vehicles and vehicles that require human or animal power for propulsion) would not be eligible.

    Class 56 would apply to eligible zero-emission automotive equipment and vehicles that are acquired on or after March 2, 2020 and that become available for use before 2028, subject to a phase-out for equipment and vehicles that become available for use after 2023. A taxpayer would be able to claim the enhanced allowance in respect of an eligible zero-emission automotive equipment or vehicle only for the taxation year in which the vehicle first becomes available for use.

    For taxation years 2020 to 2023 : rate = 100%
    For taxation years 2024 to 2025 : rate = 75%
    For taxation years 2026 to 2027 : rate = 55%
    For taxation years 2028 and following : N/A

    CCA would be deductible on any remaining balances in Class 56 on a declining-balance basis at a rate of 30%. An election would be available to forgo Class 56 treatment and instead include property in the Class in which it would otherwise be eligible.

Secondary keyword in subgroupDIEP-Asset

Use the keyword DIEP-Asset to specify if this is an eligible property for which immediate expensing was used.

When immediate expensing was introduced in Budget 2019 for zero-emission vehicles, the associated CCA Class (Class 54) included a special recapture rule in order to address the potential for excessive CCA deductions while also recognizing the impact of the capital cost limit on allowable deductions. Given the recently proposed immediate expensing measure, a parallel change for passenger vehicles included in Class 10.1 will be introduced where the vehicle has been designated for immediate expensing.

Specifically, a special rule would apply to adjust the proceeds of disposition to be deducted from the undepreciated capital cost of the property on the disposition of such a vehicle. Under this rule, the proceeds of disposition would be adjusted based on a factor equal to the capital cost limit ($34,000, for vehicles acquired on or after January 1, 2022) as a proportion of the actual cost of the vehicle. Where the vehicle is not designated for immediate expensing treatment, the ordinary CCA and recapture rules for Class 10.1 property would continue to apply.

Secondary keyword in subgroupLeasing-OV  ALT-J 

Only use this keyword if you wish to bypass the automatic calculation performed by DT Max. Amounts entered in other keywords associated with leasing expenses will then be ignored. Use [Alt-J] to enter different values for other jurisdictions.

Secondary keyword in subgroupAdditions.db  ALT-J 

Use Additions.db to enter the cost of current year capital additions (acquisitions) to this CCA class (determined on a declining balance basis).

The amounts and descriptions entered here will appear on the CCA schedule. Use [Alt-J] to enter different values for other jurisdictions.

Secondary keyword in subgroupAdditions-AIIP.db  ALT-J 

Use Additions-AIIP.db to enter the cost of current year capital additions (acquisitions after November 20, 2018) eligible to the capital cost allowance (CCA) acceleration to this CCA class (determined on a declining balance basis).

The Accelerated Investment Incentive will provide an enhanced first-year allowance for capital property that is subject to the CCA rules (referred to as eligible property), excluding certain property discussed in the Restrictions section below. The Accelerated Investment Incentive will also not apply to property in Classes 53 (manufacturing and processing machinery and equipment), 43.1 and 43.2 (clean energy equipment), which will rather be eligible for the full expensing measure introduced in this Statement.

The Accelerated Investment Incentive will effectively suspend the half-year rule (and equivalent rules for Canadian vessels and Class 13 property) in respect of eligible property. The allowance will then generally be calculated by applying the prescribed CCA rate for a class to one-and-a-half times the net addition to the class for the year. As a result, property currently subject to the half-year rule will, in essence, qualify for an enhanced CCA equal to three times the normal first-year allowance and property not currently subject to the half-year rule will qualify for an enhanced CCA equal to one-and-a-half times the normal first year allowance.

For example, prior to the introduction of the Accelerated Investment Incentive, a property in Class 8, which has a prescribed rate of 20 per cent, would be eligible for CCA of 10 per cent of the cost of the property in the year it becomes available for use, due to the half-year rule. Under the Accelerated Investment Incentive, the taxpayer will be eligible for CCA of 30 per cent of the cost of the property that is one-and-a-half times the CCA calculated using the prescribed rate of 20 per cent or three times the 10-per-cent CCA that could otherwise be claimed in the first year.

Restrictions
The Income Tax Act and the Income Tax Regulations include a series of rules designed to protect the integrity of the CCA regime and the tax system more broadly. These include rules related to limited partners, specified leasing properties, specified energy properties and rental properties. In certain circumstances, these rules can restrict a CCA deduction, or a loss in respect of such a deduction, that would otherwise be available. These integrity rules will continue to apply.

Certain additional restrictions will be placed on property that is eligible for the Accelerated Investment Incentive. Property that has been used, or acquired for use, for any purpose before it is acquired by the taxpayer will be eligible for the Accelerated Investment Incentive only if both of the following conditions are met:

  • neither the taxpayer nor a non-arm's-length person previously owned the property; and
  • the property has not been transferred to the taxpayer on a tax-deferred rollover basis.

The amounts and descriptions entered here will appear on the CCA schedule. Use [Alt-J] to enter different values for other jurisdictions.

Secondary keyword in subgroupAdditions-AIIPQ.db

Use Additions-AIIPQ.db to enter the cost of current year capital additions (acquisitions after December 3, 2018) eligible to the capital cost allowance (CCA) acceleration to this CCA class (determined on a declining balance basis).

Following the initiatives announced by the federal government, to further encourage businesses to invest, the Québec government is announcing that, up until 2024, they will be able to immediately write off the full cost of investments in:

  • computer hardware;
  • manufacturing and processing equipment;
  • clean energy generation equipment;
  • intellectual property.

Under the current tax legislation, in the first taxation year in which a property is used, the capital cost allowance can be claimed for only half of the cost of the acquired property (half-year rule).

To enable businesses to write off 100% of the value of their investments in the first year, the half-year rule will no longer apply in respect of eligible investments.

Following the initiatives announced by the federal government, and to encourage businesses to increase their investments in Québec, the government is introducing an enhanced capital cost allowance.

  • Businesses will be able to claim up to three times the amount of the capital cost allowance normally applicable in the first year for all types of investments not covered by the increase in the depreciation rate to 100%.

This new measure will apply to all businesses that make investments in any sector of the economy and in any region.

  • It applies to property acquired after November 20, 2018 and before 2028.
The enhanced capital cost allowance can be claimed only for the taxation year in which the property becomes available for use.

Accelerated depreciation of property that is qualified intellectual property or general-purpose electronic data processing equipment
The proposed changes to the federal tax system regarding accelerated depreciation will be adjusted, for the purposes of Quebec's tax system, so that a taxpayer may deduct, for the taxation year in which the property becomes available for use, the full cost of acquisition of a property that is qualified intellectual property or general-purpose electronic data processing equipment.

Special rules applicable in the case of qualified intellectual property
Where an accelerated investment incentive property is qualified intellectual property that is property included in Class 14 of Schedule B to the Regulation respecting the Taxation Act, the product obtained by multiplying, by 0.5, the portion of the capital cost of the property for the taxpayer determined on the basis of the property's remaining life at the time the cost was incurred, for the taxation year in which the property becomes available for use, will be replaced, when the property becomes available for use before 2024, by an amount corresponding to the amount by which the capital cost of the property for the taxpayer exceeds that portion.

Where an accelerated investment incentive property is qualified intellectual property that is incorporeal capital property to which a capital cost allowance rate of 5% (Class 14.1) applies, the variable "0.5" used to determine the amount to be added to the undepreciated capital cost of property in that class, at the end of the taxation year in which the property becomes available for use (before any deduction in respect of the capital cost allowance for the year), will be replaced by the variable "19: where the property becomes available for use before 2024.

Special rules applicable in the case of general-purpose electronic data processing equipment
Where an accelerated investment incentive property is property composed of general-purpose electronic data processing equipment and systems software for that equipment, namely, property included in Class 50 of Schedule B to the Regulation respecting the Taxation Act, acquired after the day of publication of this information bulletin and used primarily in Québec in the course of carrying on a business, the variable "0.5" used to determine the amount to be added to the undepreciated capital cost of property in that class, at the end of the taxation year in which the property becomes available for use (before any deduction in respect of the capital cost allowance for the year), will be replaced by the variable "9/11" where the property becomes available for use before 2024.

Secondary keyword in subgroupHalfYear-CCA

Use HalfYear-CCA to override the application of the half-year rule to current year additions in classes where the rule normally applies. Some properties are not subject to the 50% rule. Some examples are those in classes 13, 14, 15, 23, 24, 27, 29, and 34, as well as some of those in class 12 such as small tools that cost less than $200.

See subsections 1100(2) to (2.4) of the federal Income Tax Act for exceptions to the half-year rule.

If the addition is not subject to the half-year rule, select "NO" with this keyword. The 50% rule does not apply when the available-for-use rules deny a CCA claim until the second tax year after the year your client acquired the property.

Secondary keyword in subgroupCCA-Limit  ALT-J 

Use CCA-Limit to limit the amount of capital cost allowance or cumulative eligible capital amount to be claimed on this class.

You do not have to claim the maximum amount of CCA in any given year. You can claim any amount you like, from zero to the maximum allowed for the year. For example, if your client does not have to pay income tax for the year, you may not want to claim CCA. Claiming CCA reduces the balance of the class by the amount of CCA claimed. As a result, the CCA available for future years will be reduced.

DT Max will claim the lesser of the limit entered and the maximum allowable claim for the class, calculated on the CCA schedule. Use [Alt-J] to enter different values for other jurisdictions.

DT Max will allow you to enter separate classes.

Separate classes are allowed for property of the same class relating to separate businesses, and for property of the same class held for different purposes, i.e. earning income from business vs. earning income from property (see federal income tax regulation 1101).

Capital cost allowances are listed by group. This enables DT Max to calculate each CCA group separately and allows you to allocate as much CCA as required to any business or rental property. It also enables DT Max to calculate recapture of CCA and terminal losses, and to allow for separate classes when required.

You must be careful to only use separate classes for separate businesses, or when otherwise required. You should examine your files to make sure that CCA, recapture of CCA and terminal loss have properly been allocated. Ensure that all CCA has been allocated.

DT Max will warn you of any discrepancies that have been detected.

The following options are applicable for the keyword CCA-Class.

  • Class 1 - 4%
  • Most buildings bought after 1987, including components such as wiring, plumbing, heating, and cooling systems. Buildings with a cost exceeding $50,000 should be entered in separate classes.
  • Class 1 - 6% (after March 18, 2007)
  • Other non-residential buildings acquired by a taxpayer after March 18, 2007.

    To be eligible for one of the additional allowances, a building will be required to be placed into a separate class. If the taxpayer forgoes the separate class, the current rate of 4% will apply.

    Natural gas distribution pipelines acquired after March 18, 2007. Natural gas distribution pipelines are pipelines through which natural gas is carried from transmission pipelines to consumers. They include both distribution mains, which run to the edge of a customer's property, and service lines, which run from the edge of the customer's property to the house or building.

  • Class 1 - 10% (after March 18, 2007)
  • Eligible non-residential buildings acquired after March 18, 2007, used for manufacturing or processing in Canada of goods for sale or lease will be increased to 10%.

    To be eligible for one of the additional allowances, a building will be required to be placed into a separate class. If the taxpayer forgoes the separate class, the current rate of 4% will apply.

    In order to be eligible for the 6% additional allowance, at least 90% of a building (measured by square footage) must be used for the designated purpose at the end of the tax year. Manufacturing and processing buildings that do not meet the 90% use test will be eligible for the additional 2% allowance if at least 90% of the building is used for non-residential purposes at the end of the tax year.

  • Class 1 - 10% (LNG after February 19, 2015)
  • Accelerated CCA for liquefied natural gas (LNG) after February 19, 2015 and before 2025.

General-purpose electronic data-processing equipment (commonly called computer hardware) and systems software. Under proposed legislative changes of March 23, 2004, computer equipment and systems software will be included in new class 45 and the CCA rate will increase from 30% to 45%. The current rule allowing a separate class election is not available for equipment that qualifies for the 45% rate. However, you may elect to have the current rule apply for equipment that is acquired before 2005.
  • Class 10.1 - 30%
  • A passenger vehicle (automobiles costing over $30 000); the depreciable cost is limited to $30 000. No recapture or terminal loss occurs on Class 10.1 disposals and half-year CCA is also allowed in the year of a disposal.

  • Class 13 SL
  • Leasehold interest - You can claim CCA on a leasehold interest, but the maximum rate depends on the type of leasehold interest and the terms of the lease. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the number of years in the lease term. The minimum amortization period is 5 years and the maximum is 40 years. If the number of months entered for an addition in the Additions.sl keyword is not within this range, DT Max will use the minimum or maximum allowed, as is applicable.

    Separate classes are required for leasehold interests related to buildings erected on leased land.

  • Class 14 SL

    2) The amount that would otherwise be deductible for the year.
    How to process receipts for property or expenditures made before January 1, 2017? The balance for the new CCA class must be reduced to a rate of 75%. The UCC for new Class 14.1 must be raised to 25% of the lesser between the proceeds of disposition and the cost of the property that was disposed of.
    Repayment, after December 31, 2016, of government assistance received before January 1, 2017 Subsection 13(7.41) of the ITA provides that, if a taxpayer has repaid, after December 31, 2016, government assistance that was received before before January 1, 2017, the repayment amount is:
    1) Deemed to have been repaid immediately before January 1, 2017, for the purposes of the capital cost of the class and the property.
    2) The capital cost of the property and the UCC for Class 14.1 will be retroactively adjusted upwards as of January 1, 2017.
    3) No depreciation may be taken on this UCC increase before repayment.

  • Class 14.1 - 5% (after December 31, 2016)
  • Property to be included in Class 14.1
    1. is goodwill;
    2. was eligible capital property of the taxpayer immediately before January 1, 2017 and is owned by the taxpayer at the beginning of that day; or
    3. is acquired after 2016, other than
      1. property that is tangible or, for civil law, corporeal property,
      2. property that is not acquired for the purpose of gaining or producing income from business,
      3. property in respect of which any amount is deductible (otherwise than as a result of being included in this class) in computing the taxpayer's income from the business,
      4. property in respect of which any amount is not deductible in computing the taxpayer's income from the business because of any provision of the Act (other than paragraph 18(1)(b)) or these Regulations,
      5. an interest in a trust,
      6. an interest in a partnership,
      7. a share, bond, debenture, mortgage, hypothecary claim, note, bill or other similar property, or
      8. property that is an interest in, or for civil law a right in, or a right to acquire, a property described in any of subparagraphs (i) to (vii).

    However, since there is only one Class 14.1 and this class is closely associated with the operation of the business, a terminal loss in regards to Class 14.1 can only be claimed if the business has ceased its operations (following a sale or a cessation of its activities). As a matter of fact, under paragraph 13(34)a) of the ITA, if a taxpayer carries on a particular business, there is deemed to be a single goodwill property in respect of the particular business.

    The presence of this goodwill will make it impossible to claim a terminal loss, since the class will not be empty.

    Moreover, ITA 20(16.1)c) provides that no terminal loss may be deducted in a taxation year in respect of property included in Class 14.1 of Schedule II of the Income Tax Regulations, except when the taxpayer has ceased to carry on the business to which this class relates.

    • Electrical generating and distributing equipment used for mining;
    • Assets that provide services to the mine or to the community where a substantial portion of the persons employed at the mine reside (hospital, school, airport, fire hall, etc.).

    Accelerated Capital Cost Allowance (ACCA)
    The amount of ACCA that can be claimed in a year is equal to the balance of unclaimed capital cost in the class, but it cannot exceed the income of the mine. The amount claimed is optional in that any amount can be claimed up to the allowed maximum rate.

  • Class 41.1 - 25% (after March 18, 2007)
  • Oil sands property acquired after March 18, 2007 is generally included in new CCA Class 41.1.

    New subsection 1101(4e) prescribes a separate class for single mine properties that are included in paragraph (a) of Class 41.1. Properties included in paragraph (a) of new Class 41.1 remain eligible for the accelerated CCA until 2010.

    Beginning in 2011, the accelerated CCA is phased out and the amount of the additional allowance will be reduced each year, regardless of whether the constraint is the income from the mine or the amount of the undepreciated capital cost. The percentage allowed, as accelerated CCA, in each calendar year will be 90% in 2011, 80% in 2012, 60% in 2013 and 30% in 2014 of the amount otherwise allowable as accelerated CCA. No accelerated CCA will be allowed after 2014 and only the regular 25-per-cent CCA rate will apply after 2014.

    Under current rules, accelerated CCA is available in the form of an additional allowance which supplements the regular 25-per-cent CCA rate. It allows a taxpayer to deduct, in computing income for a taxation year, up to 100-per-cent of the undepreciated capital cost of the properties included in the separate Class 41, not exceeding the taxpayer's income for the year from the mine (calculated after deducting the regular CCA).

  • Class 41.2 - 25% (after March 20, 2013 & before 2021)
  • Class 41.2 (25 per cent CCA rate) includes property other than an oil sands property or eligible mine development property,

    (a) that is acquired by a taxpayer after March 20, 2013 and before 2021 and that, if acquired on March 20, 2013, would be included in paragraph (a) or (a.1) of Class 41; or

    (b) that is acquired by a taxpayer after 2020 and that, if acquired on March 20, 2013, would be included in paragraph (a) or (a.1) of Class 41.

    These separate classes of properties remain eligible for the full accelerated CCA until 2016. Beginning with 2017, accelerated CCA is phased out and the amount of the additional allowance will be reduced each year, regardless of whether the constraint is the level of project income or the amount of the undepreciated capital cost. The percentage allowed, as accelerated CCA, in each calendar year will be 90% for 2017, 80% for 2018, 60% for 2019 and 30% for 2020 of the amount otherwise allowable as accelerated CCA. No accelerated CCA will be allowed and only the regular 25% CCA rate will apply for assets in this Class after 2020.

    Eligible mine development property acquired after March 20, 2013 and before 2018 can be included in Class 41.

  • Class 46 - 30%
  • Data network infrastructure equipment and systems software for that equipment acquired after March 22, 2004 that would otherwise be included in Class 8 because of the default provision in paragraph (i) of that Class. For details on the definition of data network infrastructure equipment, see the note accompanying that new definition in amended subsection 1104(2) of the Regulations.
  • Class 47 - 8%
  • Includes transmission and distribution equipment and structures (excluding buildings) of a distributor of electrical energy acquired on or after February 23, 2005.

  • Class 49 - 8%
  • Includes transmission pipelines for petroleum, natural gas, or related hydrocarbons, including control and monitoring devices, valves, and other ancillary equipment. The 8% CCA rate for transmission pipelines will apply to equipment acquired on or after February 23, 2005. A separate class election is generally available for eligible equipment acquired on or after February 23, 2005.
  • Class 50 - 55% (after March 18, 2007)
  • Computer equipment and systems software acquired after March 18, 2007.
  • Class 51 - 6% (after March 18, 2007)
  • Natural gas distribution pipelines acquired after March 18, 2007. Natural gas distribution pipelines are pipelines through which natural gas is carried from transmission pipelines to consumers. They include both distribution mains, which run to the edge of a customer's property, and service lines, which run from the edge of the customer's property to the house or building.
  • Class 52 - 100% (after 27 Jan. 2009 & bef. Feb. 2011)
  • Include in Class 52 with a CCA rate of 100% (with no half-year rule) general-purpose electronic data-processing equipment (commonly called computer hardware) and systems software for that equipment, including ancillary data-processing equipment, if acquired after January 27, 2009, and before February 2011. To qualify for this rate, the asset must also:
    • be situated in Canada;
    • not have been used, or acquired for use, for any purpose before it is acquired by the taxpayer; and
    • be acquired by the taxpayer:
      • for use in a business carried on by the taxpayer in Canada or for the purposes of earning income from property situated in Canada; or
      • for lease by the taxpayer to a lessee for use by the lessee in a business carried on by the lessee in Canada or for the purpose of earning income from property situated in Canada.
  • Class 53 - 50% (after 31 Dec. 2015 & before 2026)
  • Class 53 includes machinery and equipment used in Canadian manufacturing acquired after 2015 and before 2026.
  • Class 54 - 30% (after 18 Mar. 2019 & before 2028)
  • Class 54 was created for zero-emission vehicles acquired after March 18, 2019 that would otherwise be included in Class 10 or 10.1, with the same CCA rate of 30%.

    There is a limit of $55,000 (plus federal and provincial sales taxes), for 2019, on the capital cost for each zero-emission passenger vehicle in Class 54. The limit will be reviewed annually. Class 54 may include both zero-emission passenger vehicles that do and do not exceed the prescribed threshold. However, unlike Class 10.1, Class 54 does not establish a separate class for each vehicle whose cost exceeds the threshold.

    If a zero-emission passenger vehicle is disposed of to a person or partnership with whom you deal at arm's length, and its cost exceeds the prescribed amount, the proceeds of disposition will be adjusted based on a factor equal to the prescribed amount as a proportion of the actual cost of the vehicle. For dispositions made after July 29, 2019, based on proposed legislation, the actual cost of the vehicle will also be adjusted for the payment or repayment of government assistance.

    The enhanced first-year allowance will be calculated by: :

    • 100% after March 18, 2019, and before 2024
    • 75% after 2023 and before 2026
    • 55% after 2025 and before 2028

    The enhanced first-year allowance will be calculated by :

    • increasing the net capital cost addition to the new class for property that becomes available for use before 2028, and applying the prescribed CCA rate for the class as described below :
      • Applying the prescribed CCA rate of 30% to :
        • 2 1/3 times the net addition to the class for property that becomes available for use before 2024
        • 1 1/2 times the net addition to the class for property that becomes available for use in 2024 or 2025
        • 5/6 times the net addition to the class for property that becomes available for use after 2025 and before 2028
    • suspending the existing CCA half-year rule
  • Class 55 - 40% (after 18 Mar. 2019 & before 2028)
  • Class 55 was created for zero-emission vehicles acquired after March 18, 2019 otherwise included in Class 16, with the same CCA rate of 40%.

    The enhanced first-year allowance will be calculated by: :

    • 100% after March 18, 2019, and before 2024
    • 75% after 2023 and before 2026
    • 55% after 2025 and before 2028

    The enhanced first-year allowance will be calculated by :

    • increasing the net capital cost addition to the new class for property that becomes available for use before 2028, and applying the prescribed CCA rate for the class as described below :
      • Applying the prescribed CCA rate of 40% to :
        • 1 1/2 times the net addition to the class for property that becomes available for use before 2024
        • 7/8 times the net addition to the class for property that becomes available for use in 2024 or 2025
        • 3/8 times the net addition to the class for property that becomes available for use after 2025 and before 2028
    • suspending the existing CCA half-year rule
  • Class 56 - 30% (after 1 Mar. 2020 & before 2028)
  • Class 56 includes a temporary enhanced first-year CCA rate of 100% in respect of eligible zero-emission automotive equipment and vehicles that currently do not benefit from the accelerated rate provided by Classes 54 and 55. These vehicles and equipment would be included in new Class 56.

    To be eligible for this first-year enhanced allowance, a vehicle or equipment must be automotive (i.e., self-propelled) and fully electric or powered by hydrogen. Vehicles or equipment that are powered partially by electricity or hydrogen (which includes hybrid vehicles and vehicles that require human or animal power for propulsion) would not be eligible.

    Class 56 would apply to eligible zero-emission automotive equipment and vehicles that are acquired on or after March 2, 2020 and that become available for use before 2028, subject to a phase-out for equipment and vehicles that become available for use after 2023. A taxpayer would be able to claim the enhanced allowance in respect of an eligible zero-emission automotive equipment or vehicle only for the taxation year in which the vehicle first becomes available for use.

    For taxation years 2020 to 2023 : rate = 100%
    For taxation years 2024 to 2025 : rate = 75%
    For taxation years 2026 to 2027 : rate = 55%
    For taxation years 2028 and following : N/A

    CCA would be deductible on any remaining balances in Class 56 on a declining-balance basis at a rate of 30%. An election would be available to forgo Class 56 treatment and instead include property in the Class in which it would otherwise be eligible.

Use the keyword Description.ca to enter a description of the asset included in this CCA class.

Secondary keyword in subgroupDIEP-Asset

Use the keyword DIEP-Asset to specify if this is an eligible property for which immediate expensing was used.

When immediate expensing was introduced in Budget 2019 for zero-emission vehicles, the associated CCA Class (Class 54) included a special recapture rule in order to address the potential for excessive CCA deductions while also recognizing the impact of the capital cost limit on allowable deductions. Given the recently proposed immediate expensing measure, a parallel change for passenger vehicles included in Class 10.1 will be introduced where the vehicle has been designated for immediate expensing.

Specifically, a special rule would apply to adjust the proceeds of disposition to be deducted from the undepreciated capital cost of the property on the disposition of such a vehicle. Under this rule, the proceeds of disposition would be adjusted based on a factor equal to the capital cost limit ($34,000, for vehicles acquired on or after January 1, 2022) as a proportion of the actual cost of the vehicle. Where the vehicle is not designated for immediate expensing treatment, the ordinary CCA and recapture rules for Class 10.1 property would continue to apply.

Secondary keyword in subgroupMine-Income  ALT-J 

Use the keyword Mine-Income to enter the income for the year from the mine.

Beginning in 2011, the accelerated CCA is phased out and the amount of the additional allowance will be reduced each year, regardless of whether the constraint is the income from the mine or the amount of the undepreciated capital cost. The percentage allowed, as accelerated CCA, in each calendar year will be:

  • 90% in 2011,
  • 80% in 2012,
  • 60% in 2013,
  • 30% in 2014.
of the amount otherwise allowable as accelerated CCA. No accelerated CCA will be allowed after 2014 and only the regular 25-per-cent CCA rate will apply after 2014.

Under current rules, accelerated CCA is available in the form of an additional allowance which supplements the regular 25-per-cent CCA rate. It allows a taxpayer to deduct, in computing income for a taxation year, up to 100-per-cent of the undepreciated capital cost of the properties included in the separate Class 41, not exceeding the taxpayer's income for the year from the mine (calculated after deducting the regular CCA).

Secondary keyword in subgroupCCA-Type

Use the keyword CCA-Type to indicate the type of CCA allocation to be made.

The following options are applicable for the keyword CCA-Type.

  • Business level (enter full amts - 100%)
  • Choose this option to indicate that the CCA pertains to the business. The amount entered under UCCOPEN is 100% attributable to the business. The amount will be claimed at the business level i.e. before the application of the partner's share. If it is a rental property, the CCA will be factored to represent the co-owner's percentage excluding the own-use portion, if any.
  • Partner level (enter prorated amounts)
  • Choose this option to indicate that the CCA pertains to the partner or co-owner. The UCCOPEN entered is attributable to the partner's share. In other words, the UCCOPEN already represents the partner's share of the amount. The amount will be claimed at the partner or co-owner level and is not factored in any way by the program.
  • Business use of home
  • Choose this option to indicate that the CCA pertains to a business use of home.

Secondary keyword in subgroupCCA-Factor

Use the keyword CCA-Factor to enter the portion of CCA class used for business or employment purposes.

This keyword was mainly introduced for motor-vehicle expenses claimed for business purposes. Basically, motor vehicle expenses claimed for business purposes are reported before CCA. According to the government forms replacing the business statements, you were asked to indicate the opening UCC ( UCC-Open ) at the percentage allocated to the business. Given that many prefer to have access to the real number that represent the total UCC-Open, additions or dispositions, DT Max has introduced this new keyword in the CCA-Class group. You can enter the total and CCA-Factor, and DT Max will allocate allowable amounts. Or you can ignore this keyword, and enter only the business portion as UCC-Open, additions or dispositions.

If CCA-Factor is used, and there are additions or dispositions in the year, the "Details" section of the CCA schedule will not indicate a personal portion because DT Max does not know the purpose for the CCA-Factor used.

Use Additions-AIIP.db to enter the cost of current year capital additions (acquisitions after November 20, 2018) eligible to the capital cost allowance (CCA) acceleration to this CCA class (determined on a declining balance basis).

The Accelerated Investment Incentive will provide an enhanced first-year allowance for capital property that is subject to the CCA rules (referred to as eligible property), excluding certain property discussed in the Restrictions section below. The Accelerated Investment Incentive will also not apply to property in Classes 53 (manufacturing and processing machinery and equipment), 43.1 and 43.2 (clean energy equipment), which will rather be eligible for the full expensing measure introduced in this Statement.

The Accelerated Investment Incentive will effectively suspend the half-year rule (and equivalent rules for Canadian vessels and Class 13 property) in respect of eligible property. The allowance will then generally be calculated by applying the prescribed CCA rate for a class to one-and-a-half times the net addition to the class for the year. As a result, property currently subject to the half-year rule will, in essence, qualify for an enhanced CCA equal to three times the normal first-year allowance and property not currently subject to the half-year rule will qualify for an enhanced CCA equal to one-and-a-half times the normal first year allowance.

For example, prior to the introduction of the Accelerated Investment Incentive, a property in Class 8, which has a prescribed rate of 20 per cent, would be eligible for CCA of 10 per cent of the cost of the property in the year it becomes available for use, due to the half-year rule. Under the Accelerated Investment Incentive, the taxpayer will be eligible for CCA of 30 per cent of the cost of the property that is one-and-a-half times the CCA calculated using the prescribed rate of 20 per cent or three times the 10-per-cent CCA that could otherwise be claimed in the first year.

Restrictions
The Income Tax Act and the Income Tax Regulations include a series of rules designed to protect the integrity of the CCA regime and the tax system more broadly. These include rules related to limited partners, specified leasing properties, specified energy properties and rental properties. In certain circumstances, these rules can restrict a CCA deduction, or a loss in respect of such a deduction, that would otherwise be available. These integrity rules will continue to apply.

Certain additional restrictions will be placed on property that is eligible for the Accelerated Investment Incentive. Property that has been used, or acquired for use, for any purpose before it is acquired by the taxpayer will be eligible for the Accelerated Investment Incentive only if both of the following conditions are met:

  • neither the taxpayer nor a non-arm's-length person previously owned the property; and
  • the property has not been transferred to the taxpayer on a tax-deferred rollover basis.

Following the initiatives announced by the federal government, to further encourage businesses to invest, the Québec government is announcing that, up until 2024, they will be able to immediately write off the full cost of investments in:

  • computer hardware;
  • manufacturing and processing equipment;
  • clean energy generation equipment;
  • intellectual property.

Under the current tax legislation, in the first taxation year in which a property is used, the capital cost allowance can be claimed for only half of the cost of the acquired property (half-year rule).

To enable businesses to write off 100% of the value of their investments in the first year, the half-year rule will no longer apply in respect of eligible investments.

Following the initiatives announced by the federal government, and to encourage businesses to increase their investments in Québec, the government is introducing an enhanced capital cost allowance.

  • Businesses will be able to claim up to three times the amount of the capital cost allowance normally applicable in the first year for all types of investments not covered by the increase in the depreciation rate to 100%.

This new measure will apply to all businesses that make investments in any sector of the economy and in any region.

  • It applies to property acquired after November 20, 2018 and before 2028.
The enhanced capital cost allowance can be claimed only for the taxation year in which the property becomes available for use.

Accelerated depreciation of property that is qualified intellectual property or general-purpose electronic data processing equipment
The proposed changes to the federal tax system regarding accelerated depreciation will be adjusted, for the purposes of Quebec's tax system, so that a taxpayer may deduct, for the taxation year in which the property becomes available for use, the full cost of acquisition of a property that is qualified intellectual property or general-purpose electronic data processing equipment.

Special rules applicable in the case of qualified intellectual property
Where an accelerated investment incentive property is qualified intellectual property that is property included in Class 14 of Schedule B to the Regulation respecting the Taxation Act, the product obtained by multiplying, by 0.5, the portion of the capital cost of the property for the taxpayer determined on the basis of the property's remaining life at the time the cost was incurred, for the taxation year in which the property becomes available for use, will be replaced, when the property becomes available for use before 2024, by an amount corresponding to the amount by which the capital cost of the property for the taxpayer exceeds that portion.

Where an accelerated investment incentive property is qualified intellectual property that is incorporeal capital property to which a capital cost allowance rate of 5% (Class 14.1) applies, the variable "0.5" used to determine the amount to be added to the undepreciated capital cost of property in that class, at the end of the taxation year in which the property becomes available for use (before any deduction in respect of the capital cost allowance for the year), will be replaced by the variable "19: where the property becomes available for use before 2024.

Special rules applicable in the case of general-purpose electronic data processing equipment
Where an accelerated investment incentive property is property composed of general-purpose electronic data processing equipment and systems software for that equipment, namely, property included in Class 50 of Schedule B to the Regulation respecting the Taxation Act, acquired after the day of publication of this information bulletin and used primarily in Québec in the course of carrying on a business, the variable "0.5" used to determine the amount to be added to the undepreciated capital cost of property in that class, at the end of the taxation year in which the property becomes available for use (before any deduction in respect of the capital cost allowance for the year), will be replaced by the variable "9/11" where the property becomes available for use before 2024.

Additional 35% deduction on CCA amount deducted (Quebec only) Additional capital cost allowance
A taxpayer will be entitled to the allowance for two taxation years: the taxation year in which the property is first put to use and the taxation year following that year.

The base amount of the allowance will correspond, for a taxation year, to an amount equal to 35% of the amount deducted as depreciation by the taxpayer in calculating income for the year in respect of the capital cost allowance class to which the taxpayer's qualified property belongs.

The amount that the taxpayer may deduct in calculating income for a taxation year on account of the additional capital cost allowance will correspond to the product of the base amount of the allowance for the year and the fraction of the undepreciated capital cost (UCC) of property of the capital cost allowance class attributable to the qualified property.

For the taxation year in which the qualified property is first put to use, the fraction of UCC attributable to the qualified property will correspond to the proportion represented by the ratio between one-half of the acquisition cost of that property and the UCC used in calculating the capital cost allowance for the year.

For the taxation year following the taxation year in which the qualified property is first put to use, the fraction of UCC attributable to the qualified property will correspond to the proportion represented by the ratio between the depreciation balance attributable to the qualified property and the UCC used in calculating the capital cost allowance for the year.

In this respect, the depreciation balance attributable to the qualified property will mean the amount by which the cost of the qualified property exceeds the part of the capital cost allowance amount that the taxpayer deducted in calculating the previous year's income and that is proportionately attributable to the qualified property.

Special tax
A taxpayer that claims an additional capital cost allowance in respect of qualified property and does not use the property mainly in the course of carrying on a business during a period of 730 consecutive days following the day it is first put to use or does not use it mainly in Québec throughout the 730-day period will be subject to a special tax.

This special tax will correspond to the amount of the additional capital cost allowance obtained by the taxpayer in respect of the property.

Qualified property
The qualified property must be put to use within a reasonable time of its acquisition and be used by the taxpayer mainly in the course of carrying on a business during a period of 730 consecutive days following the day it is first put to use, except in the case of loss or involuntary destruction of the property-caused, among other things, by accident or theft-or in the case of a major breakdown of the property.

Such property must be used mainly in Québec throughout the 730-day period. In addition, the property must be new at the time of its acquisition and be acquired by the taxpayer after March 28, 2017 and before April 1, 2019.

The additional capital cost allowance of 60% applies to a qualified property, which is, briefly, manufacturing or processing equipment and general-purpose electronic data processing equipment, acquired before April 1, 2020 and that was new at the time of its acquisition. The allowance is available for a two-year period, that is, the taxation year in which the qualified property becomes available for use by the taxpayer and the following year. The amount that a taxpayer may deduct in computing income in respect of qualified property, on account of the additional capital cost allowance, is equal to 60% of the portion of the capital cost allowance amount that the taxpayer claimed for the year, for the class to which the property belongs, and that is attributable to the property.

Taxation year in which property becomes available for use
The amount that a taxpayer may deduct in computing income, on account of the additional capital cost allowance of 60% in respect of qualified property, for the taxation year in which the property becomes available for use, will be equal to the lesser of the amount corresponding to the letter E and that corresponding to the letter F.

The amount corresponding to E will be equal to 60% of the portion of the capital cost allowance amount that the taxpayer claimed for the year, for the class to which the qualified property belongs, and that is attributable to the property. More specifically, the letter E corresponds to the amount determined by the following formula:

A x B/C
In this formula:
- A is the product of multiplying, by 60%, the amount deducted by the taxpayer in computing income for the taxation year, on account of the capital cost allowance for the class to which the qualified property belongs;
- B is the amount added to the undepreciated capital cost of the class to which the qualified property belongs, for the taxation year, which is attributable to the property;
- C is the undepreciated capital cost, at the end of the taxation year, of the property in the class that includes the qualified property (before any deduction in respect of the capital cost allowance for the year).

The amount corresponding to F will be equal to:
- 16.5% of the cost of acquisition of the property, where the qualified property is included in Class 50 of Schedule B to the Regulation respecting the Taxation Act;
- 15% of the cost of acquisition of the property, where the qualified property is included in Class 53 of Schedule B to the Regulation respecting the Taxation Act.

In addition, where the taxation year of the taxpayer in which the property becomes available for use has fewer than 365 days, the amount corresponding to F will then be equal to the product obtained by multiplying the amount calculated otherwise by the proportion that the number of days in the taxation year is of 365.

Taxation year following that in which property becomes available for use
The amount that a taxpayer may deduct in computing income, on account of the additional capital cost allowance of 60%, for the taxation year following that in which the property becomes available for use, in respect of qualified property owned by the taxpayer at the end of the taxation year, will be equal to the lesser of the amount corresponding to the letter G and that corresponding to the letter H.

The amount corresponding to G will be equal to the total, on the one hand, of the amount corresponding to E in excess of that corresponding to F, calculated in respect of the qualified property for the taxation year in which the property becomes available for use, and, on the other hand, of the additional capital cost allowance of 60% in respect of the qualified property, for the taxation year, which is determined by the following formula:

A x D/C
In this formula:
- A is the product obtained by multiplying, by 60%, the amount deducted by the taxpayer in computing income, for the taxation year, on account of the capital cost allowance for the class of property to which the qualified property belongs;

- D is the amount of the acquisition cost of the qualified property that is in excess of the amount deducted by the taxpayer in computing income for the taxation year in which the property becomes available for use, on account of the capital cost allowance attributable to the property;

- C is the undepreciated capital cost, at the end of the taxation year, of property in the class that includes the qualified property (before any deduction in respect of the capital cost allowance for the year).

The amount corresponding to H will be equal to the total, on the one hand, of the amount corresponding to F in excess of that corresponding to E, calculated in respect of the qualified property for the taxation year in which the property becomes available for use, and, on the other hand, of the following applicable amount:
- 23.9% of the cost of acquisition of the property, multiplied, where the taxpayer's taxation year has fewer than 365 days, by the proportion that the number of days in the taxation year is of 365, where the qualified property is included in Class 50 of Schedule B to the Regulation respecting the Taxation Act;

- 22.5% of the cost of acquisition of the property, multiplied, where the taxpayer's taxation year has fewer than 365 days, by the proportion that the number of days in the taxation year is of 365, where the qualified property is included in Class 53 of Schedule B to the Regulation respecting the Taxation Act.

As a consequence of the introduction of the additional capital cost allowance of 30%, the additional capital cost allowance of 60% will be eliminated as of December 4, 2018.

Secondary keyword in subgroupLiquidate

Use the keyword Liquidate to specify whether the class has been liquidated or not.

See ACB-Disp.cca for details.

Secondary keyword in subgroupCECA  ALT-J 

Use CECA in the year of disposition of eligible capital property.

Specify the amount of the CECA claim for the period pre-88 and post-87 to allow for accuracy in DT Max's calculations.

Upon disposition, DT Max will reduce the CEC class balance by 3/4 of the net proceeds of disposition. No reserve is allowed on amounts owing. A bad debt may be deducted at 3/4 of the amount (as per subs. 20(4.2)), and a recovery of a bad debt is added back at 3/4 of the amount (as per subs. 20(1)(i.1)). You must enter the appropriate amount for the bad debt or recovery amount.

If the CEC class balance is negative upon disposition, the negative amount is deemed to be:

  • business income to the extent of the CEC deductions claimed for that particular business, and if there's an excess amount,
  • taxable capital gain, i.e. excess amount less 1/2 of CEC deductions claimed before 1988. This deemed taxable capital gain is eligible for the capital gains deduction. After February 22, 1994 it is considered a business gain.

DT Max will calculate the amount added to net income as well as the capital gain resulting from the disposition (prior to February 23, 1994).

Reminder: If the taxpayer has used his capital gain deduction against his deemed taxable capital gain and then subsequently part or all to the proceeds of disposition becomes a bad debt, then 3/4 of the loss is deemed to be a capital loss to the extent of the capital gain deduction used and 3/4 of the recovered amount is deemed to be a taxable capital gain (as per subs. 39(11)). You must enter this information accordingly if applicable.

Note: The replacement property rule will allow you to defer the inclusion of the negative amount in income if a replacement property is acquired before the end of the first taxation year immediately following the taxation year in which the eligible capital property (ECP) was disposed of. The user must override DT Max's calculation of the inclusion amount if this rule applies to the taxpayer, by using RecapturOV .

If you have a positive balance upon disposition, then the taxpayer may continue to deduct annually 7% of the remaining balance. DT Max will calculate and claim the CEC amount. However, if the taxpayer ceased to carry on a business in the year, the remaining positive balance in the CEC class results in a terminal loss. To indicate this, enter "Yes" under Liquidate. DT Max will determine and claim the terminal loss deduction.

The deduction must be made in the year the taxpayer ceases to carry on a business unless he has elected to extend the fiscal period of the business (s. 25). If this election has been made, enter "No" under Liquidate .

Secondary keyword in subgroupHalfYear-CCA

Use HalfYear-CCA to override the application of the half-year rule to current year additions in classes where the rule normally applies. Some properties are not subject to the 50% rule. Some examples are those in classes 13, 14, 15, 23, 24, 27, 29, and 34, as well as some of those in class 12 such as small tools that cost less than $200.

See subsections 1100(2) to (2.4) of the federal Income Tax Act for exceptions to the half-year rule.

If the addition is not subject to the half-year rule, select "NO" with this keyword. The 50% rule does not apply when the available-for-use rules deny a CCA claim until the second tax year after the year your client acquired the property.

Secondary keyword in subgroupCCA-Limit  ALT-J 

Use CCA-Limit to limit the amount of capital cost allowance or cumulative eligible capital amount to be claimed on this class.

You do not have to claim the maximum amount of CCA in any given year. You can claim any amount you like, from zero to the maximum allowed for the year. For example, if your client does not have to pay income tax for the year, you may not want to claim CCA. Claiming CCA reduces the balance of the class by the amount of CCA claimed. As a result, the CCA available for future years will be reduced.

DT Max will claim the lesser of the limit entered and the maximum allowable claim for the class, calculated on the CCA schedule. Use [Alt-J] to enter different values for other jurisdictions.

Secondary keyword in subgroupCCA-OV  ALT-J 

Use the keyword CCA-OV to override CCA classes within a Business group. Use [Alt-J] to enter different values for other jurisdictions.

Secondary keyword in subgroupRestrictCCA

Use the keyword RestrictCCA to indicate whether you would like DT Max to limit the CCA claim on this CCA class.

By default, DT Max will automatically limit the CCA claim on rental property income when the CCA claim would otherwise create or increase a loss. Net rental income before CCA from all rental properties of a sole proprietor or co-owner is the maximum amount of CCA allowed for tax purposes.

If the client has interests in a partnership that has rental property income, the partnership may not create or increase the loss of the rental property income. Hence, the partnership's net rental income before CCA is the maximum amount of CCA allowed for the partnership. DT Max will then limit the CCA claim on a partnership per partnership basis.

If you indicate "No" in RestrictCCA, DT Max will not limit the CCA claim automatically. For example, if the client has a furnished suite, you can create or increase a rental loss with the furniture. Simply enter "No" under RestrictCCA .

Note: The keyword RestrictCCA simply turns off the automatic limitation applied by DT Max, it does not affect the entry made with the keyword CCA-Limit .
