How we help in Richmond Hill

Real estate is often the biggest financial move in a person's life, and the tax rules are full of traps. We help owners, landlords and investors keep more of their gains and stay on the right side of the CRA.

Whether you are in Oak Ridges, Mill Pond, Langstaff or Bayview Hill, we help local owners incorporate, stay current on HST and payroll and plan for the long term.

We prepare rental income statements, calculate capital cost allowance and advise on the principal residence exemption and on reporting property sales. Homes held for a short time can be treated as business income under the property flipping rules, which we look at before you sell.

For builders and renovators we also handle GST/HST on new housing and related rebates.

Real estate tax in Richmond Hill: FAQ

Quick answers to what people ask us most.

Do you offer real estate tax in Richmond Hill?

Yes. We provide real estate tax to individuals and businesses in Richmond Hill and York Region. You can meet with us by phone or video and share documents securely online. Call (647) 527-4970 to get started.

Do I pay tax when I sell my home?

If the property was your principal residence for every year you owned it, the gain is generally exempt. You still have to report the sale on your return. The rules are more complex if you rented part of the home or owned it as a residence for only part of the time.

What is the property flipping rule?

Since 2023, a residential property owned for less than 365 days is generally treated as inventory, so the profit is taxed as business income instead of a capital gain. There are exceptions for certain life events such as death, separation or a job change.

Can I deduct expenses on my rental property?

Yes. Common deductions include mortgage interest, property tax, insurance, repairs, property management fees and utilities you pay. Capital improvements are treated differently, and claiming capital cost allowance is optional.
