Buying or Financing (Ownership)
When you purchase or finance equipment, you're treated as the owner for tax purposes. You claim Capital Cost Allowance (CCA) to deduct the cost over time.

Leasing
Under a true operating lease, you typically do not own the asset. Instead, you deduct lease payments as a business expense in the year they're paid. Special limits apply to passenger vehicles.

Which is right for you?
The best choice depends on cash flow needs, usage duration, and your tax situation. Consult CRA guidance and a qualified tax professional.

Capital Cost Allowance (CCA) is the Canadian tax system's method of allowing businesses to deduct the cost of depreciable property over time using the declining balance method.

Important: CCA deductions only reduce your tax if you have taxable income. Unused CCA can be carried forward.

Accelerated Investment Incentive (AII) provides enhanced first-year CCA deductions during the phase-out period (2024-2027).

Assets subject to half-year rule: Enhanced deduction is 2× normal (removes half-year rule).
Assets NOT subject to half-year rule: Enhanced deduction is 1.25× normal.
