Can I write off Interest on Business Loans in Canada?

YES

Explanation

You can deduct interest incurred on money borrowed for business purposes. You generally CANNOT deduct the principal repayment. There are also specific limitations on interest deductibility for vacant land.

💡 Pro Tip

If you have a Line of Credit used for both personal and business, the interest calculation becomes a nightmare. Try to keep debt instruments separate.
