Save $28,000 When buying a Tesla In Canada | Real Estate Tax Tips
Рет қаралды 42,780
3 жыл бұрынDid you know that you could have an immediate tax saving of about $28,000 if you buy a Tesla instead of a regular vehicle in Canada?
If you are a real estate agent, real estate investor or small business owner, you probably know that when you purchase a vehicle, you are allowed to deduct the business use portion of that vehicle against your income.
But why does purchasing a Tesla provide you with more tax savings than purchasing a regular vehicle?
Watch today’s episode to find out.

Hi Cherry, love your videos! I have a couple questions. 1. The government website says if a car is eligible for the Zero-Emission Vehicles (iZEV) Program incentive, then the 100% depreciation rule cannot be applied (only the 30% rule applies). Therefore, any car on the list you showed in the video would not be able to qualify for the 100% depreciation, correct? 2. I thought if I had a HST number, then the HST calculation is separate (HST to pay back to CRA = HST collect - HST used during that period). Here you are putting both HST and the actual expenses together to do the calculation. Could you shed some light? Thanks!

@jennymaryj342 2 жыл бұрын
Hi there. In a previous video you mentioned that the tax deduction from an EV (e.g., Tesla) is a one-time deductible. Did I misunderstand? For example: I should claim 100% of the total purchase price (multiplied by % business use), instead of claiming 50% this year and 50% next year?
@RealEstateTaxTips 2 жыл бұрын
It allows you to claim a one year deduction, but you can also choose to carryforward the undeducted balance to future years. From second year onward, you can claim 30% on the undeducted amount on a declining basis.

If you get incentive, you will not be eligible to qualify for the extra write off. You can still qualify for $30K write off though. It sounds too good to be true that you purchased a model 3 range plus for under $55K. For the write off $55K to work, the car has to be brand new.

@RealEstateTaxTips 2 жыл бұрын
If you use your vehicle for self employed business, and you use it for 95% of the time and have proper documentation to support it, you should be eligible for the deduction. Make sure you consult with a professional accountant that knows your situation better. And again, you're welcome to reach out to our office if you need help.

Hi Cherry, really love your video topic! You help lots of Canadian taxpayer! One question, I am a salesperson working in a corporation requries me to visit clients for business generation. My company provides me a T2200 stating my job duties of driving amongst clients and my salary includes a fixed "Car Allowance" payment for few hundreds per month. So if I buy a Tesla in 2022, of coz I cannot get any EV tax benefit from federal nor province since Tesla price over $55k. Could I still get any tax benefits as you said in the video under Class 54 no matter I purchased it in full or under finance? How about interest of the finance? Car expenses, say electric bills, car wash, dashcam purchase and installation, car body protection film.
@RealEstateTaxTips 2 жыл бұрын
If T2200 is provided by your employer, you can write off the business use of your new Tesla against your employment income as well. Interest expense on financing is also tax deductible. Car expenses, such as charge expense, car wash, dash cam purchases, etc. are also considered maintenance expense. The business use portion of them can also be written off provided that you are using your vehicle for the purpose of earning employment income. You will need strong documentation.

Hi Cherry does it make a difference which month in the year we buy the Tesla? My wife has been a self employed realtor for many years and have claimed 90% business use of her car. If she buys the tesla in Nov will she still be able to claim the 90% (she will not claim the older car to avoid double counting) Or is she limited to claim a lower amount because there is only 2 months of driving left in the year? thank you

Hi David, feels like I already answered this question before but I guess I never did. Doesn't make any difference which month you purchase your vehicle. You get the same amount of deduction - assuming that your wife is a sole proprietor. Corporation may be different with first year of incorporation.

With respect to your second questions, it really goes back to the province you are in, and how you use your vehicle as well.

@RealEstateTaxTips 2 жыл бұрын
Not sure if you had watched the whole video, but at the time this video was made, Class 54 - which is what the EV would be claimed on your business tax return, has a maximum deduction of $5,000 plus HST. Our example assume 90% business use. So $55K + HST x 90% = $55,935 write off available. Assuming tax rate of 50% - $56K x 50% = $28K tax savings. Also want to mention that you CANNOT claim any government rebate on EV to qualify for the big write off. Hope it helps.

Three questions... 1. Consider a scenario where I have two jobs. Job one I am self employed or independent contractor status and job two I am paid a salary by my employer. Can I combine the two incomes at the end of the year and write the car off against that combined income or does it only get applied against job one's income (the self employed income). 2. Does the vehicle (assume a Tesla) does it have to be brand new or can I purchase a used Tesla and claim the one time write off? Note that in this scenario the maximum deduction limit may be the exact same value as I paid for the car, as its used and would be less expensive than in your example. 3. If after you claim the one time tax credit in year one (as in your example), then in year two, you sell the car for the same price you paid for it, could this trigger a recapture in the second year's taxes? Thanks is advance.

Be mindful of any government subsidies that you are getting. If you get them, chances are you wouldn't be eligible to qualify for the extra tax saving. It might still be worthwhile to get the $8K instead of bigger tax saving, depends on your situation. Make sure you consult with a professional accountant that understands this area of tax.

HI Cherry, can one continue to write off into the years following the first year of deducting 100% accelerated CCA? For eg. if the first year deduction was 55000*100%(100% business use) * 50% (tax bracket). Can you also continue to write off the monthly payments and interest after writing of the CAA?
@RealEstateTaxTips 2 жыл бұрын
You're allowed to write off the interest payment on an ongoing basis. With respect to the vehicle purchase, you can only have maximum write off of $55,000. If you don't claim $55K (assuming 100% business use), you can carried the undepreciated amount to future years to claim.

Are all these numbers (like the $13,000 or $28,000) just deductions to income? So way oversimplified, but if my income is $100,000 and I bought a Tesla and it was 50% used for my business, how much would be taken off my taxes in the first year? Or how much less would I have to pay in taxes roughly.

Hi Aamer, if you use the vehicle primarily to run your business, hypothetically you can claim the deduction against your business income that would create a loss. The loss can be offset against your full time job income. However, this may also trigger an audit, depending on how big a loss you are claiming. In your situation, it's best to speak to someone knowledgeable before making the purchase.

The more you make personally, the higher the saving given that you're also taxed at the highest marginal tax rate.

Hi John, great question. I used 50%, pretty much highest marginal tax rate in the personal tax system. If you own your vehicles inside your corporation and do no use it primarily for business purpose, significant standby charge could be imposed on your personal tax return. Yes, you might pay 12.2% in the corporation, but you would then also have to pay for the availability of a company vehicle in your personal tax return.

Is this only limited to businesses? Or do self-employed(Uber) qualifies for this program as well? Also, does it have to be a 1 time write off or you're allowed to spread it over 2-3 years?
@RealEstateTaxTips 2 жыл бұрын
Driving Uber is a self-employed business. Depending on the business usage of your vehicle for Uber driving purpose, you can take advantage of this program to a certain extent.

@@RealEstateTaxTips A follow up question. I see that you could also deduct stuff like insurance cost, fuel cost and etc. So, is the actual deductible amount something like the 30k + hst + others costs? Or you can only pick one out of the two?

Are you referring to iZEV program?
@RealEstateTaxTips 2 жыл бұрын
No. iZEV provides rebates - whether you own a business and use your vehicle for business or not. You would still qualify for the rebates. As for the tax write off, you MUST use your vehicle for business to qualify for the write off.

Is this applicable if you purchase a used tesla? Or in general. if you buy a used car for business, can you do a tax write off?
@RealEstateTaxTips 2 жыл бұрын
Used cars including EVs can be deductible in general, but only governed by the same rules as the regular cars (non-ev). So deduction amount is based on actual amount paid, and maximum deduction would be $30K plus HST even if you buy a used Tesla that's way over $30K.
@rajesh.pudota 2 жыл бұрын
@@RealEstateTaxTips so the 100% first year write off is only applicable to the new vehicles that are in the list of eligible vehicles ? For example: Tesla is not in the list anymore, which means tesla will now fall under regular cars category($30K + HST)

Great comment. HST claim is based on the type of business your operated, your business use of vehicle - you can find out more about the HST claim on the vehicle via this blog post I did a few years back realestatetaxtips.ca/how-to-maximize-hst-claim-when-purchasing-a-new-vehicle/ It isn't a 100% benefit unfortunately, goes back to exactly the % of commercial use vs. % of personal use and even if it is 100% commercial use, there's a cap on the amount of HST you can claim.

@RealEstateTaxTips 2 жыл бұрын
Hi Mee28, thanks for your comment. The $28K saved is purely calculated on the personal tax highest marginal tax rate in Ontario. The video isn't created to calculate and illustrate how corporate owned Tesla would have a huge impact on personal tax. And at the end of the day, the amount of taxable benefits are also calculated based on the business use % of the vehicle within the corporation, if taxpayer choose to own this vehicle inside his/her corporation.
