Leasing An Automobile
The maximum tax deductible amount for an automobile lease is $800 / month + taxes. While this sounds like a very generous limit, there’s a catch. The $800 limit is reduced (through a complex formula) if the manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) for the automobile is in excess of $40,000 (approximately).
Let’s assume that you have entered into a five year lease for an automobile having a MSRP of $30,000 with a monthly lease amount of $350, including taxes. Therefore, each year you would be entitled to a deduction of $4,200 (i.e. $350 x 12).
Purchasing An Automobile
When purchasing an automobile, the deductible amount (a.k.a. capital cost allowance or CCA) is computed as 30% of the cost…

It's no secret Canadians love their hockey and beer. But did you know Canadians also really dig Chicken? According to Agriculture Canada, Canadians eat over 1 Billion kilograms of it each year.

Buffalo Wild Wings has opened its doors in Lower Mount Royal, targeting the roughly 3500 younger, mostly condo-dwelling residents of that community and into urban Calgary beyond.
But with the World Junior Hockey Championships in Calgary this year, the sports-bar atmosphere and wide variety of beer and wing flavours will no doubt attract an equally wide variety of people through its doors over the next several…

Move over Movember
The razors have been donned, and with one fell swoop, everything from the subtle stubble to the flamboyant freestyles have been whisked away. But what now? Sure the holidays are upon us, but who wants to think about shopping now, when it can clearly wait until December 24th? And really, who wants to go to all the ugly-sweater bashes or overdressed stuffy corporate “holiday networking” parties anyway? If you are one of those people not exactly super excited about the Christmas season, you may be wondering “what else?”
I’ll let you in on a little secret that real estate investors have known about for years. It’s one of the best times of year to find a new home or investment…
