The Honourable Jim Flaherty, Minister of Finance, today announced the automobile expense deduction limits and the operating expense benefit rates will remain unchanged for 2014.

The limit on the deduction of tax-exempt allowances paid by employers to employees using their personal vehicle for business purposes for 2014 will remain at 54 cents per kilometre for the first 5,000 kilometres driven and 48 cents for each additional kilometre.

The rates for Yukon, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut are traditionally set 4 cents higher and they will also remain unchanged for 2014 at 58 cents for the first 5,000 kilometres driven and 52 cents for each additional kilometre.

The rate used to determine the taxable benefit for the personal portion of automobile operating expenses paid by employers for 2014 will remain at 27 cents per kilometre. The automobile standby charge for employer-provided vehicles, which is not affected by this announcement, is calculated separately and is also included in the employee's income.
