About This Course

The "Tax Issues In Canadian Real Estate: 2025-2026 Edition" course comprehensively examines the dynamic landscape of real estate taxation in Canada. Given the continuous evolution of tax laws and the Canada Revenue Agency's (CRA) heightened focus on real estate transactions, staying informed is crucial for navigating this complex environment.

This course provides essential updates and insights for accountants, lawyers, and anyone advising clients on real estate matters. You will gain a deep understanding of:

  • Legal Changes in 2025: Explore the abandoned capital gains inclusion rate hike, the new BC Home Flipping Tax, and Toronto’s Municipal Non-Resident Speculation Tax.
  • 2025 Federal Budget Proposals: Analyze the proposed elimination of the Underused Housing Tax (UHT), the GST rebate for first-time homebuyers, and automatic tax filings for low-income individuals.
  • CRA Administrative Changes: Understand updated reporting requirements for rental income on Form T776, particularly concerning short-term rentals and compliance under Section 67.7 of the Income Tax Act.
  • Combating CRA Disputes on Property Flips: Learn strategies for defending against reassessments, including the importance of evidence in Notice of Objections based on the Happy Valley Farms factors and the ITA's Section 12(12) deeming provisions.
  • Notable Tax Court of Canada Decisions (2025): Review significant rulings impacting GST/HST new housing rebates, GST/HST on short-term rentals, moving expense deductions, and the strict adherence to tax deadlines, even in cases of CRA error.

Credit Information

Is this course eligible for my CPD requirements as a Canadian CPA?

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.

Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
