Recapture of capital cost allowance(CCA) occurs when the sale of the assets causes the UCC [undepreciated capital cost] balance of the class to fall below zero(i. e. a negative balance is created in the class). This means the assets have not depreciated as much as claimed. Therefore the difference must be "recaptured" and reported as income. 2, record 2, English, - recapture%20of%20capital%20cost%20allowance

La récupération de la déduction pour amortissement (DPA) se produit lorsque la vente des biens amène le solde de la FNACC [fraction non amortie du coût en capital] de la catégorie sous zéro (c'est-à-dire qu'un solde négatif est produit dans la catégorie). Cela signifie que l'amortissement des biens, en réalité, n'est pas aussi élevé que déclaré et, par conséquent, la différence doit être «récupérée» et déclarée en tant que revenu. 2, record 2, French, - r%C3%A9cup%C3%A9ration%20de%20la%20d%C3%A9duction%20pour%20amortissement
