Scenario one: I used ebates (now called rakuten.ca ) to buy equipment for my business. The equipment is substantial enough to go under a CCA category. The ebates rebate accounts for about 12% of the total cost of that equipment.
Where does the ebates (rakuten.ca) rebate payment go? Is it "other income"? Or is the cost of equipment adjusted to reflect what I got after the rebate?
Note: this is not really a discount, or is it? The product receipt is the full, retail price amount. The ebates (rakuten) rebate comes after 3 months via Paypal.
Scenario two: I use ebates to buy supplies and minor equipment for my business. It's not enough to count as CCA (under $200). Where does the cash back from the ebates purchase go? Income? Or adjust the cost of the equipment and supplies?
Scenario three: I buy something via ebates (rakuten) and use it partially for my business. How is the product expense calculated? As just the portion I want to claim for business use? Or the whole amount? And then the ebates (rakuten) cashback scenario - is only that same percentage portion claimed as income? Or is all of it claimed as income?
