Accelerated Capital cost writeoff

CCA Capital Cost Allowance

Class 43.2 provides for an accelerated Capital Cost Allowance (CCA) rate of 50% on a declining balance basis for certain property that would otherwise qualify for inclusion in Class 43.1. This rate is subject to the “available for use”, “half year” and “specified energy property” rules.
All Wind, Solar and Geo Thermal projects for businesses qualify for 50% CCA.
