TAX TIP      Effective for all sales on or after January 1, 2016 of property eligible for the principal residence exemption, CRA Canada Revenue Agency now requires you to report the sale on Capital Gains Schedule 3 of your 2016 personal income tax return. The late filing penalty is $100 per month to a maximum $8,000. This new reporting is required even where there is only a deemed disposition (such as a “change of use”) and not an actual sale. Historically, CRA waived this requirement for any tax filing or disclosure where the entire gain on sale was exempt due to the principal residence exemption. Contact us now for professional assistance to implement this important new CRA reporting requirement.
