Learning Objective

  • Review how PRE affects capital gains and property designation.
  • Discuss the impact of section 45(3) elections on PRE.
  • Explore new trust rules for claiming Principal Residence Exemption.
  • Examine HST considerations for new, renovated, and mixed-use properties.
  • Analyze tax implications of short-term rentals on residential properties.

Course Overview

There has been a dramatic increase in litigation cases in individuals trying to claim the principal residence exemption. This rise indicates that taxpayers were trying to take advantage of this incentive to buy a home and put tax-free money in their pockets.

This insightful webinar delves into the Principal Residence Exemption (PRE) and its critical applications in property taxation. We explore real-world scenarios, including Mr. BoBo's case, to illustrate how PRE can affect capital gains and the conditions under which it applies. The CPD Course covers essential topics such as the impact of PRE on capital gains, the limitations for properties not designated as principal residence during specific years, and the strategic use of section 45(3) elections.

We also address the evolving rules for trusts post-2016, highlighting significant changes that impact how trusts can claim PRE. The discussion includes an overview of the new requirements for designating properties as principal residences within personal trusts and the important considerations for specified beneficiaries. The webinar concludes by thoroughly examining HST considerations related to residential properties, including new housing rebates, renovation treatments, and mixed-use properties. 

Key topics covered:

  • Income versus capital
  • Old rules on principal residence
  • New rules on principal residence - tips and traps
  • HST issues

Join us to gain valuable insights and practical knowledge to navigate the complexities of PRE and HST in real estate.
