FAQs About Real Estate Tax in Newfoundland
Deductible expenses include mortgage interest, property taxes, insurance, repairs and maintenance, property management fees, utilities, advertising, and certain travel expenses related to managing your rental property. Accurate record-keeping is essential to maximize these deductions and support your claims in case of a CRA review.
Capital gains are calculated as the difference between your selling price and the adjusted cost base (purchase price plus eligible expenses) of the property. You may also deduct selling costs such as legal fees and commissions. For principal residences, some or all of the gain may be exempt from tax, while investment or rental properties are generally subject to capital gains tax on 50% of the profit.
GST/HST may apply to the sale of new or substantially renovated homes, commercial properties, and certain short-term rental arrangements. Resale (used) residential properties are generally exempt, but there are exceptions. Our property tax consultants can review your transaction and advise on your specific obligations.
