Half-year rule, handled

In the year you buy, the CRA only lets you claim half the normal CCA. LQID applies it for you so the deduction is correct.

The CCA deduction posts to your books and your T2125 — lowering your tax like any other expense, automatically.

FAQ

Common questions

What is CCA?

Capital Cost Allowance — how the CRA lets you deduct big purchases gradually over several years instead of all at once.

Does LQID know which class my asset is?

Yes — pick what you bought and LQID assigns the correct CCA class and rate for you.

What's the half-year rule?

In the year you buy an asset, you can usually only claim half the normal CCA. LQID applies it automatically.

Are vehicles capped?

Yes — passenger vehicles fall under Class 10.1 and are capped at the CRA limit. LQID applies the cap for you.
