Real estate has been one of the hottest investment vehicles across Canada in recent years, and this year is no different. To make sure your real estate business provides the returns you’re looking for, it’s important to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to managing tax rules and other planning strategies.

Tax Planning for Real Estate Investment

Whether you’ve been in the real estate industry for years or you’ve just started, you can benefit by keeping some of these tax tips in mind:
Do you buy real estate with a partner? Different structures have significant tax consequences, so you need to choose wisely to suit your needs.
Plan in advance and create the right structure for your holdings or operations to reduce or defer income taxes when selling real estate.
Because the principal residence exemption does not apply to individuals who buy, renovate and sell old homes, you need to know how to create the right tax structures. This can minimize income tax implications in an area in which the CRA is increasing enforcement.
Corporations that collect rental income often pay an income tax rate of over 50% – but you may be able to take advantage of tax structures to significantly reduce this amount.
HST is generally charged on the sale of a commercial property in Ontario, a higher cost that can potentially be avoided with proper planning.
