How the mileage rate is decided
To determine each year's rate, the CRA looks at the average costs of owning and operating a vehicle over a year.
In short, the rate for business use is based on the average cost of ownership plus the average operating costs of a car. If you are from Quebec or the rest of Canada, the rates are the same.
