AP 5-5(CCA Calculations over Three Years)
Barry's Books is a business carried on by Barry Levin as a sole proprietor. The business sells historically important first-edition books. All sales are in Ontario. The fiscal period of the business began July 1,2021. Since individuals who carry on their own business must use a calendar-year fiscal period (ITA 249.1), the first year was a short fiscal period beginning July 1,2021, and ending December 31,2021.
At the commencement of his business Barry purchased the following depreciable property:
A building with a capital cost of $1,200,000, which included $410,000 for the land and $790,000 for the building. All the floor space of the building is used for the business. Barry's accountant filed a timely election to include the building in a separate class 1.
Furniture and fixtures with a capital cost of $170,000.
A customized delivery truck at a capital cost of $43,000. The truck is not a zero-emission vehicle.
Barry's business policy is to always claim maximum CCA. In 2022, the following transactions took place:
As the business enjoyed early success, on April 1 Barry purchased a $135,000 BMW. He had large logos of the business painted on both sides of the vehicle. He drove the BMW 100% for business purposes.
He replaced the delivery truck purchased in 2021 with a larger truck. The cost of the new truck was $51,000 and, against this price, he received a trade-in allowance of $26,000. The new truck is not a zero-emission vehicle.
In mid-2023, Barry won $4 million in the lottery. Given this he decided to close down his business and spend his time travelling the globe. By December 31,2023, all of the depreciable property had been sold and the business was formally closed. The proceeds were as follows:
Building The building was sold for $1,350,000, which included $940,000 for the building and $410,000 for the land.
Furniture and Fixtures The furniture was sold for $62,000.
Delivery Vehicles The delivery vehicle was sold for $39,000.
BMW The BMW was sold for $52,000.
Required: Determine the maximum CCA that can be claimed in each of the 2021 through 2023 taxation years. In your calculations, include the UCC balances for January 1,2022, January 1,2023, and January 1,2024.
In addition, indicate any income tax effects resulting from the 2022 and 2023 dispositions. Ignore GST/HST or PST considerations and the availability of immediate expensing.
