What are the real estate rental taxes in Canada?
For people who invest in real estate in Canada, it is necessary to declare the rental income to the tax authorities. For those who live by rent, after paying their income to the tax authorities, they will have little left. How do people who are engaged in the rental business in Canada declare their rents?

According to the current tax law in Canada, different tax collection calculation methods are adopted according to the different identities of buyers. Simply put, individuals who have their own and their families' permanent residences in Canada are regarded as Canadian residents, and conversely, they are regarded as non-resident individuals in Canada. It should be said that most overseas buyers are recognized as non-residents
For rental properties, the tax authorities levy taxes on net rental income, that is, when taxing, your real estate investor's rental income is deducted from the expenses and the net income, and then tax is declared. For the expenses incurred in the middle, there are certain tricks when reporting.
The more expenses you declare, the less your net income will be and the less tax you will pay. For example, you need to declare the annual depreciation expense of the house. The depreciation rate of the annual depreciation expense is generally 4%. The depreciation part can be the house itself, and the land concession tax and the lawyer's fee when buying a house can also be added.
Collection base: only net rental income is collected.
When calculating individual tax, it is based on net rental income.
The situation of different real estate rental income:
When the net income of rent is positive, it will be included in the taxpayer's income and calculated at the local tax rate.
When the net income of rent is negative, it is a non-capital loss. Canadian tax law stipulates that taxpayers can use this loss to deduct any kind of other income.
Date of collection: individual declaration is collected annually.
According to the current Canadian tax law, all taxpayers must file tax returns with the Canadian Tax Department before April 30th every year. If the owner is an individual, he should fill in the T776 Real Estate Rental Income Form and declare his personal income. If the owner is an enterprise, declare the income of the enterprise.
