CCA-Class

DT Max will allow you to enter separate classes for all classes. All separate CCA-Class groups entered will be treated as separate CCA classes on schedule 8. Separate classes are allowed for property of the same class relating to separate businesses and for property of the same class which is held for different purposes i.e. earning income from business vs. earning income from property (see Fed Income Tax Reg. 1101).

Enter the amount of depreciation and amortization claimed on the books in the NetIncome group in the Depreciation keyword.

Enter disposals of property in the relevant CCA-Class group. DT Max will calculate any capital gains (and losses for land only) on schedule 6. Enter any gains (losses) recorded on the books in the NetIncome group in the Net-Inc-Add or Net-Inc-Ded keyword.

Federal accelerated investment incentive

In the 2018 Fall Economic Statement, the government introduced an accelerated investment incentive in the form of an enhanced allowance in the first year for capital property that is subject to CCA rules. The accelerated investment incentive will be available for eligible property acquired and available for use after November 20, 2018. These eligible properties will not be subject to the half-year rule and will be entitled to an increase in the capital cost allowance depending on the class.

Quebec accelerated depreciation of property

Quebec capital cost allowance will be harmonized with the measures announced by the federal government with respect to the above-mentioned accelerated depreciation.

In addition, the government of Quebec has announced that for qualified intellectual property (Classes 14, 14.1 and 44) and property composed of general-purpose electronic data processing equipment (Class 50) acquired after December 3, 2018, taxpayers may deduct the full cost of acquisition.

Revenu Québec document IN-191 (Capital cost allowance in respect of property acquired after November 20, 2018) contains instructions for calculating the following:

- capital cost allowance in respect of depreciable property acquired after November 20, 2018; and
- the temporary additional capital cost allowance for class 50 and 53 property acquired after November 20, 2018.

Under the Accelerated Investment Incentive, capital investments will generally be eligible for a first-year deduction for depreciation equal to up to three times the amount that would otherwise apply in the year an asset is put in use. Tripling the current first-year rate will allow businesses to recover the initial cost of their investment more quickly. The Accelerated Investment Incentive will apply to all tangible capital assets, including long-lived investments like buildings. The Accelerated Investment Incentive will also apply to intangible capital assets, such as patents and other intellectual property.

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.

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 Accelerated Investment Incentive will apply to qualifying assets acquired after November 20, 2018. It will be gradually phased out starting in 2024, and no longer in effect for investments put in use after 2027.

Secondary keywordAdd-Deduction-QC

For Quebec purposes, to encourage continued investment in manufacturing and processing equipment, clean energy generation equipment, general-purpose electronic data processing equipment and certain intellectual property, an additional capital cost allowance of 30% is introduced. This additional capital cost allowance will be permanent.

The tax legislation will thereby be amended to allow a taxpayer who acquires contemplated property, after the day of publication of Information Bulletin 2018-9, to deduct in computing income from a business for a taxation year, an amount corresponding to 30% of the amount deducted in computing such income, for the previous taxation year, on account of the capital cost allowance for the contemplated property.

For the purposes of the additional capital cost allowance of 30%, contemplated property will be, on the one hand, a particular property that is:

- machinery or equipment used in manufacturing or processing, namely, property included in Class 53
of Schedule B to the Regulation respecting the Taxation Act, other than property that had allowed
or could have allowed the taxpayer to claim the additional capital cost allowance of 60%, or property
acquired after 2025 that is property included in Class 43 of the schedule, but that would have been
included in Class 53 had it been acquired in 2025;
- clean energy generation equipment, namely, property included in Class 43.1 of the schedule or property
included in Class 43.2 of the schedule
- property composed of general-purpose electronic data processing equipment and systems software for that
equipment, namely, property included in Class 50 of the schedule, other than property that had allowed
or could have allowed the taxpayer to claim the additional capital cost allowance of 60%.

The particular property must be new at the time of its acquisition by the taxpayer and not property acquired from a person or partnership with which the taxpayer does not deal at arm's length. Its use must begin within a reasonable time after being acquired and, except in the case of loss or involuntary destruction by fire, theft or water, or a major breakdown, be used primarily in Quebec in the course of carrying on a business for a period of at least 730 consecutive days after the property's use began (hereinafter, "730-days period") by the taxpayer or a person with whom the taxpayer does not deal at arm's length and in the circumstances in which a transfer, amalgamation or winding-up occurred.

More specifically, if, at any time in the 730-days period, an event occurs that prevents one of the conditions allowing a particular property to be a contemplated property from being met, the particular property will not be a contemplated property.

For the purposes of the additional capital cost allowance of 30%, contemplated property will be, on the other hand, a qualified intellectual property.

A separate class will be provided for properties of a same class for which a taxpayer may claim the additional capital cost allowance of 30%.

The following options are applicable for the keyword Add-Deduction-QC.

  • Eligible for additional CCA of 30% (deductible next tax yr)

Use CECA-Hist in the year of a disposition of pre-July/88 eligible capital property in this group. When the cumulative eligible capital account balance after 75% of proceeds are deducted is negative, previous year claims adjust the addition to net income required. This is done to reflect the old system of cumulative eligible capital deductions; 50% of cost used to be eligible capital property and 10% was the allowable deduction rate, as opposed to the current 75% eligible amount and 7% deduction rate.

DT Max will calculate the amount added to net income. The addition will appear on schedule 10 and schedule 1. You can use RecaptureOV to override the amount added to net income also.

The following options are applicable for the keyword CECA-Hist.

  • CEC deduction claimed after adjustment time
  • Total CEC deductions claimed for fiscal periods ending after adjustment time.
