Should I claim CCA on my rental property in Canada?

Claiming Capital Cost Allowance (CCA) can reduce your current year's taxable rental income to zero. However, when you sell the property, any CCA claimed is 'recaptured' and added to your income in the year of sale. At TaxBuddy, we model both scenarios to determine if claiming CCA today is the best long-term move for your specific wealth goals.
