The Selling Process Summary
Selling Costs
To determine the adjusted cost base in calculating capital gains, Revenue Canada allows for the following:
- Property Transfer Tax
- Legal fees and disbursements associated with the purchase
- Furnishings and renovations included in the selling price
- A portion of the interest on mortgage payments
- GST fees associated with the purchase
- Revenue Canada does not allow any deductions from the selling price in determining the gain. However, by filing a Canadian tax return with Revenue Canada after the sale, some of the tax paid may be recovered.
