Hi Murray,

Software purchases other than your operating system ate expensed.

However, for tax purposes, it is classified as CCA rate 12. Rate class 12 is depreciated at 100%, so you may want to book it to an asset account called Computer Software-Class 12.

At year-end, the account will be depreciated ... which is when the amount will be expensed.
