New Rules - Reporting Principal Residence Exemption

Post by AltaRed »

I may have missed this elsewhere but CRA has announced that effective Jan 1, 2016, all principal residence exemptions will have to be proactively claimed to avoid penalties et al. A very good move really. May help catch some of those slimeys not reporting investment property gains.
