  3. Version highlights

    1. Immediate expensing incentive

      Starting in 2022, it is now possible to benefit from temporary immediate expensing of certain acquired property that would otherwise qualify for capital cost allowance. The maximum amount is $1.5 million per tax year. Eligible property under this new measure would be capital property that is subject to the capital cost allowance (CCA) rules, other than property included in CCA classes 1 to 6, 14.1, 17, 47, 49 and 51, which are generally long-lived assets.

      All property acquired after December 31, 2021, in qualifying categories will be considered eligible for immediate expensing. You must use the keywords DIEP-Limit , DIEP-AIIP-Limit or DIEP-AIIPQ-Limit to limit the amount for immediate expensing.

      The immediate expensing incentive is only available for the year in which the property becomes available for use and is limited to the lesser of the following amounts:

      • The undepreciated capital cost (UCC) of the designated immediate expensing property (DIEP) for the eligible person or partnership (EPOP) (before claiming any CCA for the year);

      • The EPOP's "immediate expensing limit" (IEL) for the year (generally $1.5 million, subject to the rules for allocating the IEL among group members); and

      • The income (calculated before claiming any CCA for the year), if any, from the business or the property (source) in which the relevant DIEP is used.

      Therefore, the new immediate expensing incentive cannot be used to create or increase an individual's loss.

      If the individual is a member of a group, you must use the keyword CCA-Agreement to complete the immediate expensing limit agreement that applies to another EPOP.

      In order for the calculation of the depreciation table to be carried out correctly, all the columns have been subdivided into three categories:

      1. Property eligible for accelerated capital cost allowance

      2. Property eligible for Quebec accelerated capital cost allowance

      3. Property eligible for normal capital cost allowance

      When there is a disposition, since the type of property that was disposed of is not specified, you must use the keywords Part-ProcAIIP , Part-ProcAIIPQ , Part-ProcDIEP , Part-ProcDIEPaiip or Part-ProcDIEPaiipQ as the case may be so that the calculation of the depreciation is carried out correctly. The difference will be considered property eligible for normal capital cost allowance.

      Given the immediate expensing measure, a parallel change for passenger cars included in Class 10.1 will be introduced when the car is designated for immediate expensing. In particular, 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 car. Under this rule, the proceeds of disposition would be adjusted by a factor equal to the maximum depreciable value ($34,000 for vehicles acquired on or after January 1, 2022) in proportion to the actual cost of the car. Where the car is not designated for immediate expensing, the ordinary CCA and recovery rules for Class 10.1 property would still apply. This measure is not yet implemented in version 26.10 but will be in a later version.

      If the taxation year of the EPOP is less than 51 weeks, the immediate expensing limit (IEL) must be prorated based on the number of days in the taxation year [ITR 1104(3.5)(b)].

      The half-year rule for an acquisition of a depreciable property is suspended for properties which this measure is applied [ITR 1100(2)].

    2. New Form T1B, Request to Deduct Federal COVID-19 Benefits Repayment in a Prior Year

      If you repaid any amount of federal COVID-19 benefits in 2022, this form allows you to deduct it on the 2020 or 2021 return or split it between the 2022 return and the return for the year in which you received the benefit. The CRA will then automatically reassess to apply the deduction so that you do not have to make a separate request to amend the previous year's returns. A new option has been added to the keyword Carry-Back to generate and complete the T1B form.

    3. New Air Quality Improvement Tax Credit

      If you have incurred expenses related to ventilation and air quality, you may be eligible to receive the air quality improvement tax credit (AQITC). The AQITC is a refundable tax credit equal to 25% of all your ventilation-related expenses incurred from September 1, 2021, to December 31, 2022, to improve the ventilation or air quality of your place of business, up to a maximum of $10,000 per location and $50,000 in total. To claim the AQITC, complete the new Form T2039, Air Quality Improvement Tax Credit.

    4. New Critical Minerals Exploration Tax Credit (CMETC)

      The 2022 Federal Budget included a new tax measure relevant to the mining sector, as part of the Federal government's "critical minerals" strategy. A new critical minerals exploration tax credit (CMETC) will apply to qualifying expenditures relating to exploration for "critical minerals" used in zero-emission vehicles or the production and processing of advanced materials, clean technology or semiconductors.

      The CMETC is a 30% tax credit on qualifying exploration expenses.

    5. New Labour Mobility Deduction

      This measure provides eligible tradespersons and apprentices working in the construction industry with a deduction for certain travel and temporary relocation expenses. This deduction would allow eligible workers to deduct up to $4,000 of eligible expenses per year.

    6. Climate Action Incentive Payment (CAIP)

      The federal government applies a price on pollution in jurisdictions that do not have their own pollution pricing systems which meets the federal benchmark. The Climate Action Incentive Payment (CAIP) will now be paid as a quarterly benefit. If the individual is entitled, they will automatically receive the CAIP four times a year. The provincial Schedule 14 was eliminated and the question whether the taxpayer resides outside of the census metropolitan areas (CMA) has been added in the T1 Income Tax and Benefit Return for the applicable provinces. In 2023-24, the federal fuel charge will continue to apply in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Ontario.

      1. Benefits paid quarterly for three new provinces

        Three new provinces have been added: Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland and Labrador. For these provinces, since they are not eligible for an April 2023 payment due to the federal fuel charge being applicable only as of July 1, 2023, the quarterly payments will start only in July 2023.

      2. Red Deer, Alberta added as CMA

        The city of Red Deer, Alberta, was added as census metropolitan area (CMA) for the Climate Action Incentive (CAI).

    7. Expansion of DPA Classes 43.1 and 43.2

      Classes 43.1 and 43.2 have been expanded to include additional qualified property such as air-source heat pumps primarily used for space or water heating. This measure applies to goods (generally new) acquired after April 6, 2022, and which have not been used or acquired for use before April 7, 2022. These goods can benefit from the enhanced CCA for the first year, which allows currently to fully expense the cost of the property in the year of acquisition. The enhanced CCA will be phased out for properties that become available for use after 2023 and before 2028.

    8. Last year of eligibility for business owners or professionals who have elected to exclude the value of the work-in-progress (WIP)

      Generally, for the first tax year that starts after March 21, 2017, you must include 20% of the lesser of the cost and the fair market value of the WIP. The inclusion rate increases to 40% in the second tax year that starts after March 21, 2017, 60% in the third year, 80% in the fourth year, and 100% in the fifth and all subsequent tax years.

    9. New eligible medical expenses

      Certain expenses you paid for a surrogate mother or a sperm, egg or embryo donor in Canada after December 31, 2021, would be considered eligible medical expenses. The Government of Quebec has harmonized the deduction with this measure.

    10. Lifetime capital gains exemption limit

      For dispositions in 2022 of qualified small business corporation shares, the lifetime capital gains exemption (LCGE) limit has increased to $913,630.

    11. Quebec tax credit for a large cultural donation

      Starting in tax year 2022, the Quebec tax credit for a large cultural donation has been made permanent.

  4. Introduction of the Tax-Free First Home Savings Account (FHSA)

    As per the backgrounder document from the Department of Finance Canada:

    In Budget 2022, the government proposed the introduction of the Tax-Free First Home Savings Account (FHSA). This new registered plan would give prospective first-time home buyers the ability to save $40,000 on a tax-free basis. Like a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP), contributions would be tax-deductible, and withdrawals to purchase a first home - including from investment income - would be non-taxable, like a Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA).

    Budget 2022 announced the key design features of the FHSA, including an $8,000 annual contribution limit in addition to a $40,000 lifetime contribution limit. Today, the Department of Finance is releasing for public comment draft legislative proposals that provide additional details on the design of the FHSA. This backgrounder offers a summary of these details.

    The government expects that Canadians will be able to open and contribute to an FHSA at some point in 2023. No matter when this happens in 2023, Canadians would be allowed to contribute the full $8,000 annual limit in that year.

  5. Exchange rate and other prescribed rates

    Please note that the exchange rate used by default for the conversion of US dollar amounts to Canadian currency has been updated in DT Max according to the latest information available on the Bank of Canada's website.

    The wording in the drop-down menu options for the keyword Exchange.t has also been updated to display the 2022 annual average exchange rates for each country, according to information published by the Bank of Canada.

    In addition, the rates for meal and vehicle expenses that are used in the calculation of travel expenses have also been updated.

  6. One-Time Cost of Living Amount (Explanation of the measure)

    Revenu Québec will begin by early December 2022 the distribution of one-time amounts paid by the provincial government to help Quebecers cope with a higher inflation rate than expected. It is currently completing the final preparations aimed at disbursing the planned amounts.

    As previously announced, Revenu Québec will begin paying financial assistance to more than 6.5 million taxpayers as of December.

    People with a net income of $50,000 or less will receive one-time assistance of $600, while those with a net income between $50,000 and $100,000 will be entitled to a minimum amount of $400. People whose net income varies between $100,000 and $104,000 will receive a lower amount, based on their income.

    This new non-taxable one-time amount will be based on income for 2021, and Revenu Québec will automatically pay it by direct deposit or by check to people who have submitted their 2021 income tax return. Citizens do not have to apply to obtain this financial assistance.

    Taxpayers who have not yet filed their 2021 tax return have until June 30, 2023, to do so and take advantage of this new measure. People who received last-resort financial assistance on December 31, 2021, and who benefit from the automatic payment of the QST component of the solidarity tax credit do not have to file an income tax return to qualify for this measure.

      The calculation for the lines Taxable capital gains under section 34.2 of the Act… and Allowable capital losses under section 34.2 of the Act… regarding the income inclusion summary for corporations that are members of partnerships have been revised due to the multiple changes on Quebec Form CO-17.B.

      Column C has been removed from Part 2, Information about the partnership(s).

      Part 5, QTI reserve, was deleted.

      Form CO-17.B has been completely redesigned to consider the calculation of the different types of income and remove the calculation of the partnership's income or loss for income tax purposes (line 54 of Form CO-17.A.1).

      In this form, you will find the calculation of the amounts related to the adjusted stub period accrual or to a new member of a partnership (including the income shortfall adjustment and additional amount) which will be carried over to line 54a of Form CO-17.A.1. You will also find the calculation of the taxable capital gain which will be included in Form CO-17S.232.

      • Active business income;

      • Property income;

      • Other income.

      This form, which was used to determine the amount to be included in a corporation's income, for a particular taxation year, in respect of a single-tier partnership of which it is a member and whose fiscal year does not coincide with the corporation's taxation year, must be used from now on for any corporation that must determine the amount to be included in its income, for a taxation year, in respect of a single-tier or a multi-tier partnership of which the corporation is a member and whose fiscal year does not coincide with the corporation's taxation year. Form CO-17.B.2 has been deleted.

      In Part 2, Information about the partnership, box 08 and the text below have been deleted. Boxes 11 and 12 have been deleted as well.

      Former Part 3, Eligible alignment income, has been deleted.

      Current Part 3, Adjusted stub period accrual (ASPA), has been redesigned, because we must be able to apportion the year's ASPA according to the different types of income. Lines have been added between lines 42 and 43 so that it is possible to obtain the subtotal of net income (income - loss) from each type of income. After line 54, the apportionment by type of income has been added.

      Part 4, Amount to be included in the income of a corporation that is a new member of a partnership, has also been redesigned, because we must be able to apportion this amount according to the different types of income. Lines have been added between lines 61 and 62 so that it is possible to obtain the subtotal of net income (income - loss) from each type of income.

Also, it is strongly advised to verify the carryforwards relating to the Partner-Inc-Inclus keyword group.

    • CO-17.R - Request for an Adjustment to a Corporation Income Tax Return or to an Information and Income Tax Return for Non-Profit Corporations

      This form has been updated by Revenu Québec and is now part of the authorization process.

      Several keyword changes were needed. The keyword Other-Line-No is now an alphanumeric entry only where you can enter the line number in the return that needs the adjustment. A new keyword Name-Line has been added within the Other-Line-No subgroup, where you can enter the name of the line on the return. DT Max will convert the information from the old Other-Line-No which contained an alphanumeric entry and integer to both the Other-Line-No and the Name-Line keywords. As always, it is recommended to verify the data entry to ensure that the information is correct.

      In addition, a new subgroup keyword Adj-Details has been added within the T2-Adjust group. This will let you indicate if you wish to enter brief details or extended details regarding the reasons for the adjustment. As such, the new keyword Details.q can be used if you wish to enter brief details. If extended details are preferred, you can continue to use the keyword Details . A new in-house supplemental page has also been added to accommodate the extended reasons for the adjustment. Although DT Max will convert the existing details entered with a prior version within the keyword Details , it is strongly suggested that you verify the data entry and adjust accordingly.
