• 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.

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).

(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.

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.

• Timber limits and cutting rights

Use this option to enter a timber limit or a right to cut timber from a limit. The allowance (CCA) is generally established on the basis of the quantity of timber cut in the year versus the quantity of timber which the taxpayer has a right to cut. The CRA discusses this deduction and provides guidelines with respect to the tax treatment of timber limits in Interpretation Bulletin IT-481 (Consolidated).

Rate: Depletion allowance applies. Enter the rate to be used in the Timber-Rate keyword in this group.

• Land - non depreciable property

Land (non depreciable property) can be entered here or in the Capital-Gains group. If the land is entered here, it will print on the CCA schedule but no capital cost allowance, recapture or terminal loss will be calculated on the land.
