Building a strong Canada starts with investing in the modern and reliable infrastructure that makes it possible to increase housing supply and create resilient communities.
To boost business investment, enhance certainty and simplicity for businesses, and strengthen Canada’s tax competitiveness, the Government of Canada proposes to implement the Productivity Mega Deduction, which will provide immediate expensing for a broad-based range of depreciable property on a permanent basis. Immediate expensing allows taxpayers to fully write off the cost of an investment in the year that it becomes available for use. This powerful investment incentive will create the conditions for an extended period of higher investment—a Canadian investment supercycle.
