I am not self employed - but I bought a motor vehicle for earning rental income and for personal use. Can I claim the cost of purchasing my car (less tax) as a CCA?

No, you are unable to claim the cost of your vehicle as Capital Cost Allowance (CCA) for motor vehicles is not an eligible deduction on the T776 - Statement of Real Estate Rentals. 

You can claim these costs related to your vehicle: 

• fuel and oil cost
• maintenance and repairs
• insurance
• licence and registration fees
• eligible interest on money borrowed to buy a motor vehicle
• eligible leasing costs
