Dear Sirs:
Re: Capital Cost Allowance Deduction ("CCA") by a Partnership
This is in reply to your letter of July 31, 1991, wherein you asked if each partner was permitted to claim its own amount of CCA that pertains to its interest in property owned by the partnership.
Paragraph 96(1)(a) of the Act states that for purposes of calculating a partnership's taxable income it is to be treated as a separate person resident in Canada. Thus the partnership owns depreciable capital property and for tax purposes must make any claim of capital cost allowance pertaining to such property.
We trust that our comments are of assistance.
Yours truly,
