Note

An eligible capital expenditure is reduced by the amount of any assistance received or receivable from a government for the expenditure. Also, an amount forgiven (or entitled to be forgiven) on government debt reduces your CEC account. Special conditions may apply to non-arm's length transactions. For additional information, see IT123, Transactions Involving Eligible Capital Property.

You can deduct an annual allowance if there is a positive balance (line 8) in your CEC account at the end of your fiscal period. You do not have to claim the full amount of the maximum annual allowance for a given year. You can deduct any amount you want, up to the maximum allowable of 7%. If your fiscal period is less than 365 days, you have to prorate your claim. Base your claim on the number of days in your fiscal period compared to 365 days.

If there is a negative balance in your CEC account, see Sale of eligible capital property – Sole proprietor or Sale of eligible capital property – Partnership.

The following is an example of how to calculate the maximum annual allowance and account balance.

Example
John started a business on January 1, 2006. John's business has a December 31 year-end. During 2006, he bought a franchise for $16,000. He calculates his maximum annual allowance of $840 for 2006 as follows:

John's CEC account

Balance at the start of
John's 2006 fiscal period		 $           0 1
John's eligible capital expenditure: franchise cost for the 2006 fiscal period $ 16,000 × 75%
$ 12,000
 2
Line 1 plus line 2
$ 12,000
 3
John has not sold any eligible capital property during the 2006 fiscal period. Therefore, he will not have any amounts on lines 4 to 8.    
John's maximum annual allowance on eligible capital property is 7% × line 3
$ 840
 9
Balance at the end of 2006 (line 3 minus line 9)
$ 11,160
 10
