TAX RULES HAVE CHANGED - WE CAN HELP
A change to the tax rules about Principal Residence Exemption means Canadians might owe tax on the sale of their home - even if they don't sell it!
If your home is being used as more than just your residence - for business purposes for example - or if you have a cottage or off-shore property that becomes your primary residence for a period of time, you will need to get your property appraised for the time the change happened. This can date back to 1972. Under the Canadian Revenue Agency tax rules, that change means your house was "sold" and you need to confirm its Fair Market Value at the time.
If the home is sold, or later becomes your principal residence only again, you'll again need to appraise the value at that time to calculate the capital gain.
At Leander Property Appraisals, we can help. Give us a call.
