Updating and reviewing asset depreciation

This section applies to Canadian entities and explains the input apps required to process depreciable assets for the tax year. Tax Provision includes several input apps and reports to facilitate in calculating Capital Cost Allowance and Cumulative Eligible Capital for depreciable assets.

Capital Cost Allowance input app (NA0921)

This input app applies only to Canadian entities and is used by enterprises filing Canadian tax returns to claim depreciation on assets such as buildings, furniture, and equipment. The Canada Revenue Agency has defined various classes of assets, which have a different percentage for the claimable amount.

Note: For more information on reports, see "Working with reports".

You must update capital cost allowance information for every relevant class of asset. Your Tax Provision system contains preconfigured classes of assets. Land and Other classes have been added so that you can reconcile your Capital Cost Allowance with your company’s capital asset subledger. For more information on classes, refer to the Canada Revenue Agency web site.

Depreciation classes in Tax Provision are represented by the following symbols in the Elements dimension (down):

To update the capital cost allowance:

1. In the Tax Provision navigation pane, click Data Collection.
2. Expand National Annual.
3. Use the drop-down list or the symbol selector to select the appropriate entity.

   For more information, see “Using the Symbol Selector”.

   UCCBOY—BoY UCC	Beginning of year UCC amount. This value is populated from the rollover but can be manually populated during initial configuration.
   UCCBOYAdj—Opening Adjustments	Adjustments to the beginning of year UCC amount.

6. Expand the UCCNetAdd—Net Additions category and enter data for the following accounts for each relevant class:

   UCCAdj—Adjustments	Other adjustment amounts.

   UCCMonth—Month	Numerical representation of the current period. If the fiscal period is 12, enter 12. The claim is multiplied by this number divided by 12.
   UCCYears—Years	This applies to straight line (SL) CCA classes. If the class is not a straight-line class, enter 1. The claim is multiplied by 1 divided by this number.

9. Update the UCC Claim by entering data for the following account for each relevant class:

   Symbol	Description
   UCCCLAIMR—CCA Claim Reduction	Amount to reduce UCCAvail—Claim Available.

10. Update the end of year capital cost allowances in the CA_UCCEOY—EoY UCC category by entering data for the following accounts for each relevant class:

    Symbol	Description
    UCCRecap—Recapture	CCA recapture amount. If the total of all of the decreases exceeds the total of all the increases to the UCC of a class, this excess balance is called a CCA recapture and is included in income for that year.
    UCCTermLos—Terminal Loss	Terminal loss amount. If there is a positive balance remaining in the pool after disposition of all property in the class, that balance is called a terminal loss and is deductible from income for that year.

    Note: To enter a Recapture or Terminal Loss amount, you must enter zero (0) as the Percentage rate to apply in the CCARate—CCA Rate account. This is because no CCA claim occurs when there is a Recapture or Terminal Loss of an asset class. The Recapture or Terminal Loss amount entered must result in a rolled-up class total of zero (0) in the CA_UCCEOY—EoY UCC category.

11. When you are finished, click Submit.
