Dear XXXXXXXXXX ,
Re: Recaptured Capital Cost Allowance (CCA)
This is in reply to your letter of September 18, 2008 concerning the tax treatment of recaptured CCA in a situation where there is a change in the income-use of a depreciable property.
Our views concerning the income tax treatment of recaptured CCA are discussed in the CRA's interpretation bulletin, IT-73R6 - The Small Business Deduction. Should you need further assistance and the situation involves specific taxpayers and completed transactions, you can submit the information to the local tax services office for their views. A list of tax service offices is available on the CRA website at
http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/cntct/tso-bsf-eng.html. If the situation involves proposed transactions, you may submit a request for an advanced income tax ruling in the manner set out in Information Circular 70-6R5.
We trust our comments are of assistance.
Yours truly,
Sandy Parnanzone

Business and Partnerships Division
