Capital Cost Allowance (CCA)
When an asset is disposed of, the
lower
of its original cost or the proceeds from disposition is deducted from its CCA class
If no assets remain in a particular class:
any remaining undepreciated balance is deducted from taxable income (
terminal loss
)
if a credit (negative) balance results, that credit is added to taxable income (recapture of CCA
)Slide6
