TAX CONSIDERATIONS

Why Landlords and Real Estate Investors Need Specialized Tax Support

Rental property transactions involve specific accounting and tax considerations. Organized records and timely review can help property owners understand their reporting responsibilities and prepare for significant transactions.

01

Rental Income & Expense Categorization

Tracking rental income and categorizing property expenses helps create complete financial records for annual tax reporting.

02

Capital Improvements vs. Current Expenses

Repairs and capital improvements can receive different tax treatment. Keeping clear records helps support the appropriate treatment of property expenditures.

03

Property-by-Property Records

Maintaining separate information for each rental property makes it easier to understand income, expenses and year-end reporting requirements.

04

Financing & Interest Tracking

Mortgage and financing records should be maintained carefully so relevant interest and borrowing information can be reviewed appropriately.

05

Capital Gains & Property Dispositions

Selling an investment property can create tax consequences. Purchase records, improvements, selling costs and other transaction details may need to be reviewed.

06

Ownership Structure Considerations

Property held personally or through a corporation can involve different accounting and tax reporting requirements, making the ownership structure an important consideration.

PROPERTY DISPOSITIONS

Capital Gains and Selling an Investment Property

Selling an investment property can create important tax reporting considerations. Depending on the circumstances, the disposition may result in a capital gain or loss, and the transaction needs to be reported appropriately.

Reviewing the property's history can involve the original purchase price, relevant acquisition costs, capital improvements, legal or professional costs where applicable, and selling costs such as real estate commissions. The property's adjusted cost base may need to be established from these records.

Additional considerations may apply when a property changes use, such as when a principal residence is converted into a rental property or a rental property becomes a residence. These situations can require careful review of the applicable tax rules.

CPAMG can help organize transaction information and review the accounting and tax considerations relevant to a property disposition.

Adjusted Cost Base Review Organize purchase information, applicable acquisition costs and capital improvements that may be relevant to the property's cost base.
Change-in-Use Considerations Review tax considerations when a property changes between personal and rental use.
Selling Costs & Tax Treatment Organize commissions, legal costs and other transaction information for appropriate review and reporting.
Ownership Structure Review Consider accounting and tax implications where properties are owned personally or through a corporation.

I filed my taxes through them in 2025, but I still haven’t received my tax refund. When I called the CRA, they told me that my details were filled out incorrectly by them. Now it’s already 2026. I’m very disappointed with their service.
