Anne Massy works for Liberty Promotions in Nunavut and is provided with a company-leased automobile.
The automobile was in Anne's possession for 365 days. Of the 34,134 kilometres driven, 15,805 kilometres were for business purposes. The monthly lease cost of the vehicle was $198.60, excluding GST calculated at
5%. Anne requested in writing that Liberty Promotions use the optional operating cost method if all conditions apply. She did not reimburse the company for any of the expenses associated with the automobile.
Calculate Anne's annual automobile taxable benefit.

Calculate Anne's annual automobile taxable benefit.
Correct Answer:
$7,900.10
Explanation:
Anne has both an automobile standby charge (because the car was made available) and an operating expense benefit (because the employer paid operating costs and she did not reimburse).
1) Standby charge (leased auto): Lease cost for standby charge purposes includes GST and excludes insurance.
Monthly lease incl. GST = $198.60 × 1.05 = $208.53.
Standby charge per month = 2/3 × $208.53 = $139.02.
Days available ÷ 30 = 365 ÷ 30 = 12.17, rounded to 12.
Annual standby charge = $139.02 × 12 = $1,668.24.
2) Operating expense benefit: Personal km = 34,134 # 15,805 = 18,329.
Optional method requires the automobile be used primarily (>50%) for business; Anne's business use is under
50%, so the optional method does not apply and the fixed rate must be used.
Fixed rate (2026) = $0.34/km # 18,329 × 0.34 = $6,231.86.
Total taxable benefit = $1,668.24 + $6,231.86 = $7,900.10.
