Real Estate Tax for Non-Residents

Navigate the Canadian non-resident real estate tax landscape with confidence.

Tax Planning

Whether you are an individual looking to buy property in our beautiful province, a real estate broker or a notary trying to help your client in a real estate transaction, navigating the Canadian tax system can be difficult, and have serious consequences on any investment property returns, once all is said and done.

Do you know the actual tax implications of a rental property? Whether the ultimate intention is to rent out, or own to sell with a profit, it is imperative to conduct some due diligence and /or take the right steps BEFORE signing on the dotted line… We work directly with clients, in collaboration with real estate brokers and notaries who refer non-resident property owners to us, to avoid making the wrong decision before it is too late to revert them, once the purchase or sale is concluded.

The goal of all our tax planning services is to minimize the tax burden and reduce financial risk to owners of short-term rental properties. We accomplish this by going above and beyond what a technician could accomplish – each client’s unique financial picture, needs and history is taken into account and used to develop their personalized tax strategy.

Government Reporting and Filings

It is no secret that navigating through two levels of governments – especially for a foreigner – can be tricky. Our team can help with all types of government reporting related to rental properties owned by Canadian residents, and non-residents alike.

What Our Clients Think

“Any Client is in Good Hands”

We have been working with Madame Côté for many years and she is our number one reference for all tax-related matters. Between her expertise and her unequaled efficiency, any client is in good hands with her!

“Expert advice and Able Guidance”

As a notary, I can say without a doubt, that Julie Côté’s team is extremely competent and diligent in her work, and that she is an expert in her field. They make dealing with the government, which can often be an arduous process, much easier.

“Expert advice and Able Guidance”

It’s not just that FL Fuller Landau provides expert advice and able guidance around very complicated rules and regulations. What I really appreciate is the firm’s human touch — the patience, thoughtfulness, and sensitivity they bring to every interaction. As a client for nearly 15 years, I trust them and value their counsel.
