A corporate employer can make a loan to an employee to purchase a vehicle to be used by the employee for business purposes. The prescribed rate of interest (2%) should be charged on the loan. As such, you must be an employee of your corporation to qualify. Otherwise, you must include the shareholder loan in your income.
