From July 1, 2016, businesses will have the option to self-assess the tax effective life of acquired intangible assets.

This new option will better align the tax treatment of intangible assets over the actual number of years the asset provides an economic benefit.

Smaller innovative companies can have access to faster depreciation to better market their intellectual property.

Businesses still have the option to choose to use the existing statutory effective life for depreciating intangible assets.\
