Entering tools Capital Asset

My grooming tools add up to just over $3000.  When I enter into the capital asset section, do I need to enter each tool separately?  Or do I put asset-grooming tools, cost - $ total for all tools?

You will first need to determine which CCA class your tools fall in. 

  • Small tools under $500 belong in Class 12 with a 100% CCA rate, and most are not subject to the half‑year rule. They are fully deductible in the year of purchase. 
  • If the tool costs $500 or more, include it in Class 8 with a CCA rate of 20%. These tools are subject to the half-year rule.

Once you have determined the correct class, "Yes" you can enter them as a total cost.
