In Canada, the rate of asset depreciation varies depending on the type of asset and its classification under the Capital Cost Allowance (CCA) system. For example, machinery and equipment might have a depreciation rate of 20% to 30%, while buildings generally depreciate at a lower rate of about 4% per year. The specific rates can also differ based on the asset's use and the taxpayer's circumstances. It's advisable for businesses to consult the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) guidelines or a tax professional for accurate calculations related to their assets.
