Definitions
What are Capital Expenditures?
Capital Expenditures are the gross expenditures on fixed assets for use in the operations of your organization or for lease or rent to others. Gross expenditures are expenditures before deducting proceeds from disposals, and credits (capital grants, donations, government assistance and investment tax credits).
Fixed assets are also known as capital assets or property, plant and equipment. They are items with a useful life of more than one year and are not purchased for resale but rather for use in the entity's production of goods and services.
Examples are buildings, vehicles, leasehold improvements, furniture and fixtures, machinery, and computer software.
Include:
- Cost of all buildings, engineering structures, machinery and equipment which normally have a life of more than one year and are charged to fixed asset accounts
- Modifications and major renovations
- Capital costs such as feasibility studies, architectural, legal, installation and engineering fees
- Subsidies used to fund capital expenditures
- Capitalized interest charges on loans with which capital projects are financed
- Work done by own labour force
- Additions to capital work in progress
Exclude:
- business acquisitions
- transfers and write offs
How to Treat Leases
Include:
- Fixed assets acquired as a lessee through either a capital or financial lease;
- Fixed assets acquired for lease to others as an operating lease.
Exclude:
- assets acquired for lease to others, either as a capital or financial lease.
Operating lease: The lessor bears the risk of ownership and retains a significant "residual" economic interest in the leased property. The lessee has the right to temporary use of the property, for a term shorter than the economic life of the property, in exchange for regular payments. At the end of the lease, the lessee has the option of purchasing the property at fair market value.
Capital or financial lease: These leases are similar in that the lessor in effect finances the "purchase" of the leased property by the lessee and retains a security interest in the leased property. The lessee retains the leased property for substantially all of its economic life. Usually, at the end of the rental period, he has the option to buy the property at a reduced price.
Land: Capital expenditures for land must include all costs associated with the purchase of land that is not amortized. Improvements to land are to be reported under "Non-residential construction".
Work in Progress: Work in progress represents the costs accumulated since the start of capital projects and which are intended to be capitalized upon completion.
If a major project has been launched or an existing project has been expanded, please indicate the nature, location and, if applicable, the name (s) of the project in the comment section of the questionnaire.
Type of activity (function): The type of activity refers to the function (the economic or social goal or purpose) of capital and repair expenditures incurred during the year. It is the service for others that it serves to support and not its internal
Examples:
A capital expense for the acquisition of office furniture for a hospital.
The function of this acquisition is hospital services.
A capital expense for the construction of a waste disposal facility at a school for its own use.
The function of this expense is teaching.
Residential Construction:
A building or residential building refers to a building used or intended for residential purposes on a permanent or non-permanent basis. Residential buildings normally provide self-contained bathroom and kitchen units to the occupants of each dwelling.
A building for which the majority of housing units have a shared bathroom and kitchen is classified as non-residential.
Include capital expenditures incurred during the reporting period for residential construction (contract or by your own employees).
Include the residential portion of multipurpose complexes and townsites.
Exclude buildings that have dwellings without bathrooms or self-contained or exclusive-use kitchens (e.g, some student or senior residences, short-term shelters), or service-related expenses.
Affordable Housing: Include government-subsidized rental housing. Exclude short-term shelters and single-use, non-bathroom, self-contained dwellings and service-related expenses (these are reported under non-residential construction).
Non-Residential Construction:
This group includes non-residential buildings (buildings). A non-residential building or building refers to a construction that is used or intended for non-residential purposes, namely for industrial, commercial or institutional purposes, including the provision of services. Include capital expenditures incurred during the reporting period for non-residential buildings and engineering works (on a contract basis and / or by your own employees) whether for your own use or lease.
A building for which housing units have a shared bathroom and kitchen is classified under this group. Building structures should be classified as an asset according to their main use, unless it is a multipurpose structure in which we would like you to separate the components. The cost of any machinery or equipment that is an integral or integrated part of the structure (elevators, heating equipment, sprinkler systems, environmental control systems, intercom systems, etc.) must be declared as part of the structure this structure and the landscaping and associated parking lots.
Include:
- Manufacturing plants, warehouses, office buildings, shopping centres, etc.;

- All preconstruction planning and design costs such as engineer and consulting fees and any materials supplied to construction contractors for installation, etc.
Machinery and Equipment
Capital expenditures incurred during the reporting period for machinery and equipment, whether for your own use or for lease or rent to others. Machinery and equipment are generally housed in structures and can be removed or replaced without significantly altering the structure.
Include:
- Automobiles, trucks, professional and scientific equipment, office and store furniture and appliances;
- Computers (hardware only), broadcasting, telecommunications and other information and communication technologies equipment;
- Motors, generators, transformers;
- Any capitalized tooling expenses;
- Acquisitions to work in progress;
- Progress payments paid out before delivery in the year in which such payments are made;
- Any balance owing or holdbacks should be reported in the year the cost is incurred.
New Capital Assets: Enter new capital expenditures, including the portion of work in progress for the current year. Include imports of used capital assets as they represent newly acquired assets for the Canadian economy.
Canadian Used Capital Assets: Our survey is designed to measure separately the acquisitions of new and used capital assets across the Canadian economy. The acquisition of used capital does not increase the total capital stock, but simply transfers it to the Canadian economy. Indicate the acquisition of used assets separately in this column.
Renovation, Refurbishment, Refurbishment or Refurbishment, Restoration: Indicate capital expenditures for improvements, renovations, repairs, refurbishments, overhauls, or restoration. Exclude routine repair or maintenance expenses.
Non-Capitalized Repair and Maintenance expenses
This refers to the repair and maintenance of property as opposed to the acquisition or renovation of capital assets.
Non-capitalized repair and maintenance expenditures are that portion of current or operating expenditures charged against revenue in the year incurred and made for the purpose of keeping the stock of fixed assets in good working condition during the life originally intended.
Repair and maintenance allow such fixed assets to operate at output producing capacity during the asset life without undue amounts of down time (preventive function). A second purpose is the returning of any portion of the stock of fixed assets into a state of good working condition after any malfunctioning or reduced efficiency for whatever reason (curative function) short of replacement of such fixed assets or adding significantly to their life or productive efficiency.
Maintenance expenditures on buildings and other structures may include the routine care of assets such as janitorial services, snow removal and/or salting and sanding by the firm's own employees or persons outside the firm's employ.
Maintenance expenditures on machinery and equipment may include oil change and lubrication of vehicles and machinery.
Include:
- the gross value of non-capitalized repairs and maintenance expenditures on non-residential buildings, other construction or machinery and equipment;
- the value of repairs made by your own workforce, as well as payments to outside repairers;
- building maintenance services: janitorial services, snow removal, abrasive application, etc. ;
- maintenance of equipment: oil changes and lubrication of vehicles or other machinery, etc.
