Real Estate Tax Services

The Canadian tax system treats real estate differently depending on how it’s used. For example, the sale of your principal residence may be exempt from capital gains tax, but selling a rental property or a second home can trigger tax obligations. Similarly, rental income requires detailed reporting, and expenses must be carefully tracked to ensure compliance with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). Without proper guidance, it’s easy to make mistakes that can reduce your return or result in penalties.

Our specialized real estate tax services include:

• Principal Residence Exemption – Guidance on eligibility, documentation, and reporting requirements to ensure you maximize tax benefits when selling your home.

• Rental Income Reporting – Accurate preparation and filing of rental income and expense statements, including depreciation (CCA), mortgage interest, utilities, repairs, and property management fees.

• Capital Gains & Losses – Strategic planning to minimize taxes when selling properties, including timing sales, using losses effectively, and applying available exemptions.

• Non-Resident Real Estate Taxation – Assistance for non-residents who own Canadian property, including NR4 slips, withholding tax requirements, and Section 216 returns.

• Real Estate Investors & Flippers – Tax planning for frequent buyers and sellers, helping distinguish between capital gains and business income to stay compliant while optimizing outcomes.

• HST/GST on New Homes & Assignments – Guidance on whether sales are subject to GST/HST, and handling rebate applications for new builds or assignments of purchase agreements.

• Tax Planning for Inherited or Gifted Property – Support with deemed dispositions, estate transfers, and minimizing tax liability during inheritance.
