New compliance requirements with an April 30th, 2023 filing requirement are upon us. Are you prepared? Clearline Consulting has the resources to help you navigate these new requirements.
An Underused Housing Tax Return may need to be filed if your client owns residential property in a prescribed area. Canadian citizens and permanent residents are exempt from filing. However, if you own residential property through a trust, partnership, or Canadian corporation, you may be required to file a return, even if you are exempt from the tax. Failure to file penalties are significant, even where your client is exempt from the tax.
Here is a list of resources we have available to help you navigate these new requirements:
