Help me understand CCA for commission employee using vehicle?


Recommended Posts

First year working in a commission compensation structure at a new company. Purchased a vehicle in May 2023 for this role, use it approx 70% work and 30% personal.

I've added a 'purchased vehicle' tab under motor vehicle expenses in the interview but am a bit lost as to how to properly enter my information.

I understand that as the vehicle is partially used for personal use, the deductions are pro-rated - do I need to calculate that prior to entering them into the boxes in the interview (such as "maintenance and repairs for the year")?

Let's say the vehicle I purchased was 20,000 and used from May - Dec... my understanding would be that I can claim the following as CCA:
20,000x30%=6,000 /2 (for half year rate) = 3,000 x 70% (prorate for 30% personal use = 2100. Where do I enter this amount?

Thanks for any help in advance!
