CRA GST/HST Assessment on Property Sales? We Can Help

The CRA may scrutinize frequent property sales to determine if your activities constitute a business, making you liable for GST/HST.
Properties held for resale can be considered inventory, subject to GST/HST on the sale price.
Unintentional errors in your tax filings can trigger a CRA assessment.
The distinction between a capital asset (not subject to GST/HST) and inventory (subject to GST/HST) is crucial. Generally, the CRA considers properties you intend to hold for the long term as capital assets. However, if you buy properties with the primary intention of reselling them for a profit in a short timeframe, and this becomes your usual course of business, the CRA may classify them as inventory. This frequency of sales is a key factor the CRA considers.

We'll represent you in discussions with the CRA, aiming to reduce your tax burden and penalties.
