你卖房,那么是你的唯一居住吗?如果是,你一个外国人,怎么可能长期住在加拿大?你如果能长期居住,那就不是外国人了,最少是永久居民,这个新税本来就和你无关.
如果你一个外国人无法长期居住在加拿大的,你怎么来说这是你唯一居住屋?政府完全可以说这是你的海外投资资产。那么你卖房可以,以前是按照captial gain来算的。盈利一般算收入加税。现在狠了,算business income了,全额加税。
To designate a property as the principal residence, it does not have to be the place where the taxpayer lives all the time. The property will qualify as a principal residence if the taxpayer,
taxpayer's spouse or common-law partner, or any of the taxpayer's children lived in it
at some time during the year.
The question of whether a housing unit is ordinarily inhabited in the year by a person (that is, the taxpayer, the taxpayer’s spouse, common-law partner, former spouse, former common-law partner or child) must be resolved on the basis of the facts in each particular case. Even if a person inhabits a housing unit
only for a short period of time in the year, this is
sufficient for the housing unit to be considered ordinarily inhabited in the year by that person.The proposed legislation would have anyone who is not a Canadian citizen or permanent resident pay a 15 per cent tax when they register their property.
The change is scheduled to take effect August 2, with room for the provincial government to increase the tax to 20 per cent or decrease it to 10 per cent as it sees fit.
