Revenue Canada has changed some of the tax rules regarding deductions for information technology in physicians’ offices that will reduce the immediate costs of technology adoption. Physicians can now deduct the entire cost of computer hardware during the year of purchase instead of making reduced deductions over several years. This is a short-term incentive valid from 27 January 2009 to 1 February 2011. The Canadian Medical Association has provided more background in an article at www.cma.ca/index.cfm?ci_id=10043190&la_id=1 [8].
