Problem

• Mark Simmon's Wholesale began operations in 2020, and all the income is reported as business income in the tax return. Mark purchased assets in different classes, and signed lease agreement in 2020. Mark also registered his business as a GST registrant as he foresees that the sales would exceed the threshold in the first quarter.

• Mark signed a lease for 6 years for a building when the business began. The building is in an excellent location and is estimated to be worth $700,000. Mark has an option to renew the lease for an additional 2 years. Mark spent $240,000 in 2020 on improvements to the leased building at the beginning of the year.

• Mark purchased land and a building adjacent to his business for $88,000 in 2020. Mark has chosen to take 4% CCA on the building.

• Incorporation costs for the business in 2020 were $4,400.
