In Canada, can interests and taxes be added to the ACB of a property when there's no income during the year?

yes
that is the proper way to do it
No.

Property taxes and interest are expenses deductible against rental income earned. If the rental income is less than the expenses then you'll have a loss. If you have losses over multiple years without having any years showing net rental property income, CCRA can disallow the deduction of all related expenses from property, even from previous years.

ACB (Adjusted Cost Base) is..

Initial purchase price paid +
expenses incurred to acquire the property (Realtor, legal)+
capital improvements (IE you add an extension) -
selling expenses incurred to sell (Realtor, legal)

You can each year you own a property claim CCA (Capital Cost Allowance) which is the tax version of depreciation. However this can only be claimed on the building and NOT the land. This too will reduce your ACB. The problem is CCA must be "recaptured" if you sell the property at a gain.

Of course alsolutely all the rules change if the property is or has ever been your "Principal Residence".
