Real Estate Tax CPAs in Markham, Ontario
1 CPA listed
Real estate investing creates a layer of tax complexity that generic accountants often underserve: capital gains vs. income treatment, the principal residence exemption, Section 45 elections, HST on new builds, and the ever-changing foreign buyer and vacancy tax rules. A CPA with real estate experience knows these rules cold and can help you structure your holdings to defer or reduce tax.
Ontario real estate investors face the federal Underused Housing Tax (UHT), Ontario's Non-Resident Speculation Tax (NRST at 25%), HST on new construction and substantially renovated properties, and the new federal Flipping Tax on properties held under 365 days. A real estate CPA in Markham who knows these overlapping rules — and Ontario's land transfer tax rebates for first-time buyers — can save clients tens of thousands of dollars.
Key considerations in Ontario
- Ontario NRST: 25% on purchases by non-citizens/non-permanent residents
- HST New Housing Rebate available on new construction under $450,000 purchase price
- Federal Residential Property Flipping Rule: sale within 365 days taxed as income, not capital gain
- Ontario land transfer tax on top of federal land transfer tax in Toronto (double LTT)
