Federal government to allow full depreciation of manufacturing equipment in year one

December 10, 2018  By Patrick Flannery


In its fall economic statement, the federal government has announced its intention to allow businesses to write off the entire cost of machinery used for manufacturing and processing the same year it is put into use. This is up from the 25-per cent writeoff allowed in the first year presently.

In the announcement, the Ministry of Finance points directly to a drive to improve the competitiveness of Canadian manufacturers in light of American tax and tariff moves.

Specifics of the machinery eligible for the new rules are not given, but the measures are broad and would likely apply to architectural glass fabrication equipment.
