What's New For Tax Year 2025?

Tax law changes that affect most taxpayers:
  • Federal tax rate

    The lowest individual income tax rate will be reduced from 15% to 14%. Since the change takes effect halfway through the year, the full-year lowest marginal individual income tax rate for 2025 will be 14.5%.

    The rate applying to most non-refundable tax credits will continue to be the same as the lowest marginal individual income tax rate.

  • Capital Costs Allowance

    Previously introduced Accelerated investment incentive is in phase out period, in 2024 to 2025, CCA can still be claim at the full rate without half-year rule in the year of acquisition. Class 43.1, 54, 55 and 56 can be claimed at 75% against the maximum allowed costs.

    Under proposed legislation, if you acquired property in class 43.1, 44, 46, 50, 54, 55 and 56, you can again write off the full allowable costs in the first year. The law might finally pass or never pass. We (and the CRA) would allow this claim at tax filing time. If you take full advantage of it, be prepared to make adjustment if the law failed to pass - though it is unlikely.
