Lease vs. Buy Your Business Vehicle-
๐ Leasing
โ
Deduct monthly lease payments (CRA max $1,100/month + tax)
โ
Easier cash flow โ smaller upfront cost
โ
Good if you upgrade vehicles every few years
โ ๏ธ Lease payments arenโt building equity โ at the end, you donโt own the car
๐ Buying/Financing
โ
Claim Capital Cost Allowance (CCA) โ 30% declining balance for most vehicles
โ
Deduct interest on a car loan (up to CRA limits)
โ
You own the vehicle โ no km limits
โ ๏ธ Bigger upfront cost and slower tax write-offs
๐ก Quick Tip:
If you change cars often or want predictable payments โ LEASE.
If you plan to keep the car long-term it would make sense to BUY.
