Sell

Capital gain on a sale: what is taxable

Your principal residence: generally no tax on the gain. The same federal rule applies in Mirabel as everywhere in Canada (Income Tax Act).

Capital gain$100,000
Your principal residence (designated every year)$0 taxable
Other property (cottage, rental): taxable amount$50,000
Agent's commissionnegotiated, not computed

Principal residence designated for every year owned: nothing taxable, but the sale must be reported. Other property: $50,000 of taxable amount is added to your income for the year; the resulting tax depends on your marginal rate and is not computed here.

Principal residence: the Canada Revenue Agency exemption wipes out the gain for each year the home is designated; the sale must still be reported (partial designation: part of the gain becomes taxable). Other property (cottage, rental): half the gain becomes a taxable amount, added to that year's income (1/2 inclusion rate, CRA guide T4037; the increase to 2/3 was cancelled on March 21, 2025 — checked on canada.ca on October 15, 2026). It is not the tax owed: that depends on your marginal rate, which Payotte does not compute. Gain = sale price − purchase price, before selling costs and deductible improvements. No official schedule sets the agent's commission. Tax on selling, case by case

What is the AI Passport?

The AI Passport is a dated page a professional gets on Payotte so that search engines and AI assistants read them correctly: their name, licence and contact details in one place, with a link to the official register. It is neither a ranking nor a recommendation. Payotte does not score professionals who have a Passport, and it does not replace your own check: consult the register before signing.
