How is Real Estate Succession Planning Important?
Canadians invest a heavy amount in real estate but later when transferring property or selling it, they face tax consequences. Here are some common issues that might arise, if Canadians move without proper planning.
- High gains in capital taxes
- Unexpected tax gains for successors
- Complex legal challenges
- Forced sale of property
Real estate succession planning is important to ensure smooth transfer of real estate without legal complexities and low taxes.
According to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), the transfer of property or deemed disposed of at death raises the capital gains on taxes considering the new property value. However, succession tax planning can reduce this burden.
