Note 1:  Columns 4, 6, 8 and 9 apply only to designated immediate expensing properties (DIEPs). See subsection 1104(3.1) of the federal Income Tax Regulations for definitions. A DIEP is a property that you acquired after December 31, 2021, and that became available for use in the current year. For more information, see Guide T4002.
Note 2:  The proceeds of disposition of a zero-emission passenger vehicle (ZEPV) that has been included in Class 54, or a passenger vehicle bought after April 18, 2021, that has been included in Class 10.1, and whose cost is more than the prescribed amount will be adjusted based on a factor equal to its prescribed amount as a proportion of the actual cost of the vehicle. For dispositions after July 29, 2019, you will have to adjust the actual cost of the vehicle for any payments or repayments of government assistance that you may have received or repaid for the vehicle. If the passenger vehicle in Class 10.1 is not designated for immediate expensing treatment, this special rule does not apply. For more information on proceeds of disposition and prescribed amounts, read "Class 10.1 (30%)" and "Class 54 (30%)" in Guide T4002.
Note 3:  The amount you enter in column 8 must not be more than the amount in column 7. If the amount in column 7 is negative, enter "0."
Note 4:  The immediate expensing applies to DIEPs included in column 8. The total immediate expensing amount for the tax year (total of column 9) is limited to the lesser of:
  • the immediate expensing limit, which is equal to one of the following, whichever is applicable:
    • $1.5 million, if you are not associated with any other eligible person or partnership (EPOP) in the tax year
    • amount iv of Area G, if you are associated with one or more EPOPs in the tax year
    • zero, if you are associated with one or more EPOPs and an agreement that assigns a percentage to one or more of the associated EPOPs was not filed with the minister in a prescribed form
    • any amount allocated by the minister under subsection 1104(3.4) of the Regulations
  • the UCC of DIEPs in column 8
  • the amount of income, if any, earned from the source of income that is a property (before any CCA deductions) in which the relevant DIEP is used for the tax year
For more information, see Guide T4002.
Note 5:  Columns 11, 13 and 14 apply only to accelerated investment incentive properties (AIIPs) (see subsection 1104(4) of the federal Income Tax Regulations for the definition), zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs), ZEPVs and other eligible zero-emission automotive equipment and vehicles that become available for use in the year. In this chart, ZEVs represent zero-emission vehicles, zero-emission passenger vehicles and other eligible zero-emission automotive equipment and vehicles. An AIIP is a property (other than a ZEV) that you acquired after November 20, 2018, and that became available for use before 2028. A ZEV is a motor vehicle included in Class 54 or 55 that you acquired after March 18, 2019, and that became available for use before 2028, or eligible zero-emission automotive equipment and vehicles included in Class 56 acquired after March 1, 2020, and that became available for use before 2028. For more information, see Guide T4002.
