21
INCOME FROM BUSINESS OR PROPERTY?
Relevant:–“Incidental” to business, eg excess
space–Turns on the “services” you provide –
beyond mere rental of property, eg• Residential – food, lounge, maid services• Commercial – janitorial, security
22
INCOME FROM BUSINESS OR PROPERTY?
Significant impact on:– “Earned” for child care– Attribution– Allocation across
provinces in which situated
– Impact for non-resident
– Array of deductibles– Fiscal year reporting– Loss restriction on
CCA– CNIL for capital
gains freebie– Tax rate (for corps)
23
PASSIVE TAX RATES
Individuals– Of course – marginal rates!
Private Corporation– Generally passive
• Presently approx 45%– Subject to Part 1 refundable and dividend refund

OWNERSHIP STRUCTURE
Personal– Calendar reporting– Strategic issue re claiming CCA
• Discussed later
– For a couple – who buys it?• Short vs long term implications
– Income/loss/gain/tax brackets– Loss carryforward? Being smart!
29
OWNERSHIP STRUCTURE
Personal– Buying houses for kids– Title issues
• Principal residence issues
– Security issues• Prom note? Second mortgage?
– Marital risk issues… Being smart!
30
OWNERSHIP STRUCTURE
Personal– Buying houses for kids
• Estate issues and equalization
– Joint tenanting parents’ home with kid(s)• Probate dodging
31
OWNERSHIP STRUCTURE
New SCC cases re joint tenancy strategy (Pecore) (and Saylor Case)– In absence of clarity of intention-– “Presumption of advancement” is limited to
gratuitous transfers from parents to minor children
– Elsewise, burden of proof is on transferee to prove a gift was intended…
32
OWNERSHIP STRUCTURE
– Evidence of intent inferred from bank documents, the actual control and use of the asset, the bearing of related taxes, or granting Power of Attorney
– Better: a signed Declaration of Intent to clearly outline transferor’s intentions
– Codicil to will– Valid for both new and existing
33
OWNERSHIP STRUCTURE
– Joint tenanting• May use up kid’s principal residence
designation, or• May expose half the house to appreciation tax
if the kid already has a p.r.• Knock-on effect
– Precludes PTT exemption on subsequent first home purchase
34
STORIES FROM THE TRENCHES
Daughter put on parents’ title
Subsequently bought own p.r.– Claimed PTT exemption
Then sold that p.r.– Audited for invalid PTT exemption– Assessed, with DOUBLE penalty

splits of different kinds of expenses in a rental suite situation
• Eg security, gardening, snow removal
43
RENTAL INCOME
Interest– The old trace-ability issue– Interest deductibility test is income from
business or property– Turns on answer to the question:

NB Implications of losses on PUPs (recreational property)
NO GOOD! Ouch
58
CAPITAL GAINSInclusion rate– Historical background
• Tax-free pre 1972• Taxed at inclusion rates beginning 1972
– 1972-1987 - 1/2– 1988-1989 - 2/3– 1990-2000 - 3/4– 2000 – multi, ending at ½ at end of 2000– now - 1/2

Example of Treatment of Disposals
Assume: Original cost=$10,000and U.C.C.=$8,000
Sold for $6,000
Answer – Terminal loss of $2,000
61
sold for $11,000** Apply only original
cost
Answer – Recapture
$2,000 &– Capital Gain
$1,000– What is the point
here?
Example of Treatment of Disposals
Assume: Original cost=$10,000and U.C.C.=$8,000
62
CAPITAL GAINS
Buildings and subjacent land– tricky re-allocation of
POD to reduce a terminal loss
63
CAPITAL GAINS
Buildings and subjacent land– Report land & building separately
• Latter may have recap/terminal loss
– ITA doesn’t like terminal loss on building and capital gain on land:
– Causes arbitrary reallocation of P.O.D.

Subjacent problem: exampleFact pattern

Subjacent problem: exampleSolution - amended
67
RESERVESOn vendor take-back financing– Remember reserves on business income
• Similar BUT DIFFERENT!– Can spread taxation of gain over, up to, 5
tax years• 2 part calculation annually
– Calculation has two parts• Mini play-off system applied EACH YEAR
– Long term deferral shut down since 1981• Can’t spread recapture
68
RESERVESNot available to non-residents, or emigrants– Reserve disallowed for emigrants in year
prior to departure as wellNot available in transactions between related partiesRemember: this is permissive
year-by-year
Being smart!
69
RESERVESFred has received an offer to sell a parcel of land for proceeds of $1,000,000. The proceeds are payable as $400,000 cash on closing and $100,000 in each of the subsequent six years. Interest would be paid at 9% on the outstanding balance. The land was acquired for $200,000.
Required: Calculate the tax implications over the six years, assuming that the land is a capital property.

Taxation of Passive Income
75
CORPORATE TAX ISSUES
Managing income from property– Taxed at special passive rate if private
corp• 45.16% at December 31/10• 44.66% AT December 31, 2011
– Subject to refundable Part 1 into RDTOH– And dividend refund out of RDTOH…
76
CORPORATE TAX ISSUES
PASSIVE: Private corps only– “Refundable dividend tax on hand” account
• “RDTOH” pot captures two unrelated things– PART I REFUNDABLE @ 26.66%
» All property income except dividends plus» Taxable capital gains
– PART IV on dividends @ 33 1/3%
– Relieved by dividend refund at 33 1/3%

• Excluded portion of net capital gains• Ditto re sale of ECE• Life insurance proceeds• Capital dividends from subs
–Less payments made–Procedures and tricks
81
CORPORATE TAX ISSUES
Capital gains– Capital dividend account: private corps only– Triggered gain creates and monetizes a CDA
opportunity• Flow tax free $$ out to shareholders to pay off
non-deductible debt• Perhaps then to follow with re-
mortgaging as deductible debt and
shareholder loan– Watch mortgage payout penalties Being smart!
82 82
Taxation of Passive Income

CORPORATE TAX ISSUES
Also taxed on one half at the corporate passive rate, circa 45%, therefore 23% on the whole gain

86
PRINCIPAL RESIDENCE
Some form of housing unit– House, apartment, condo, cottage, mobile home, trailer or
houseboat– Including leasehold interest in same– Including share in capital stock of coop
Ordinarily inhabited: the one night stand?– By self, spouse, former spouse or dependent child
• Child under age 21, or else infirm or in school
“Designated”- not formally required year-by-year!– One per couple post-’81
87
PRINCIPAL RESIDENCE Size limit– ½ hectare routinely ok – If bigger, ok if:
• Zoning re minimum lot size• Required re access from public roads
Incidental income– Basement suite (reporting?)
If Canadian resident but abroad– Includes property off-shore
88
PRINCIPAL RESIDENCE
Condos-in-progress– Ownership does not pass until the condo is
provincially registered (IT 437R)– Ergo, P.R. designation not available– What about sale of right?
• CRA says no P.R. for same reason– May be challenged?– Will be topical these days!
89
PRINCIPAL RESIDENCE
Vacant land– Fails the “inhabited” test while unused or
during construction– Can lead to partial exposure to capital
gains on sale, under the “1+” rule – See example later
90
CHANGE IN USE
Is a deemed disposition– To rental from principal residence
• Non-taxable to taxable• Establish FMV at change date
– Any gain is tax-free to that point under P.R. designation
– Mark-to-market at FMV establishes ACB forward as taxable investment property
91
CHANGE IN USE
Is a deemed disposition– To principal residence from rental
• Taxable to non-taxable• Establish FMV at change date
– Any gain is taxable to that point – Mark-to-market at FMV establishes ACB forward as
tax-free principal residence
• Creates tax liability without cash flow!...
92
CHANGE IN USE
Alternate is to elect no change-in-use– This defers - but does not eliminate – the
gain on deemed disposition– Cash flow issue often snares you! – Leads to the 1+ rule…
93
CHANGE IN USE
The 1+ rule determines the tax-free gain proportion:
1 + # years P.R. designated*
# years owned**
*and Canadian resident
**any part of a year
94
CHANGE IN USE
Taxpayer acquires and moves in 1990
Moves out 1996-2000 – no election
Sells the principal residence in 2008

NB: It makes available the property for P.R. designation…
96

Options 4 p.r. years back
Options 4 p.r. years fwd
98
CHANGE IN USE
Electing out of change-in-use from rental to p.r.– The downside of change-in-use is $$
owing– The downside to the 1+ route on 45(2):– Each add’l year of P.R. designation, the
free fraction gets bigger and thus the taxable fraction gets smaller BUT potentially on a large(r) gain, eg 30+ years!
99
CHANGE IN USE
T2091– P.R. designation form
• Very clear! Fill in the numbers!
– Not required until a disposition occurs which requires designations
• i.e. when there are multiple eligible properties
– Also when an ACG had been used prior
100
VACANT LAND
Taxpayer acquires vacant land in 1998Completes $100,000 construction IN 2001 and commences to occupy the house as a principal residenceSells the principal residence in 2003Capital gain = P.R. relief equals (1+3) divided by 6
