Tax wise there is not alot of difference between the two finance options. If you finance a vehicle you may be able to deduct the interest, and the vehicle is depreciated over just over 3 years to a maximum of $35,000 (for most taxpayers). If you are leasing, each payment you make may be tax deductlble – but again your are limited to the $35,000 threshhold.

Absolutely – If you do not have a detailed mileage log, CRA can disallow ALL of your vehicle expenses including depreciation. You need to have a mileage log that details both your business and personal mileage for the entire taxation period. It should outline where you go, and for what purpose. There are many great apps that you can use to make this easier, but a paper log is also acceptable. Please remember, that your daily commute from home to your office is not considered business miles by CRA. Business mileage is from your office to a seperate work site, or meeting with a client or business professional
