Sell

Capital gain on a sale: what is taxable

Your principal residence: generally no tax on the gain. The same federal rule applies in Drummondville 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
Land transfer tax$0 — paid by the buyer
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

In their own words

His introduction, in his own words

“My name is Samuel Lessard, a residential mortgage broker specializing in plexes. I have owned income properties for more than 11 years, so I know the market’s challenges first-hand: cash flow, refinancing, ratios, renovations and growing a portfolio. My goal is simple: to offer realistic, effective financing solutions to investors. But I still do all kinds of loans: purchases, refinancing, debt consolidation, alternative lenders, salaried and self-employed borrowers.”

Samuel Lessard, written answer of November 3, 2026, in French; English translation by Payotte.

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.
