Attention residential property owners!

Recent changes to the Underused Housing Tax Act mean there is no filing requirement for 2025 and subsequent years.

If you were an affected owner of residential property in 2022, 2023, or 2024, you are required to file a UHT return, even if your property qualified for an exemption.

We encourage you to review filing requirements carefully to avoid submitting unnecessary returns: https://www.canada.ca/en/services/taxes/excise-taxes-duties-and-levies/underused-housing-tax.html?utm_source=Social_media&utm_medium=Facebook&utm_campaign=No_Signature_Corporate_item+PAB+Other&utm_content=2026-04-27_0805

Rental expenses are not all treated the same for tax purposes.

Day-to-day costs like property taxes, insurance, utilities, and minor repairs are usually operating expenses.

Major improvements like a new roof, new windows, or a full renovation are usually capital expenses.

Proper classification matters.

📍Not all rental property expenses are treated the same way for tax purposes.

❗️One of the most common mistakes landlords make is claiming a major improvement as if it were a regular repair.

👉 In simple terms:
Operating expenses are usually day-to-day costs to maintain the property and earn rental income. These may include advertising, insurance, property taxes, mortgage interest, utilities, condo fees, cleaning, and minor repairs.

Capital expenses are usually larger costs that improve the property, replace a major component, or provide a long-term benefit. Examples often include a new roof, new windows, a new furnace, major flooring replacement, or a full kitchen renovation.

👉 A simple example:
If you repaint walls between tenants, that is usually an operating expense.
If you replace the entire roof, that is usually a capital expense.

👍 A good rule of thumb:
If you maintained the property, it is often an operating expense.
If you improved the property or replaced a major part of it, it is often a capital expense.

Proper classification matters. It can affect your rental income, your deductions, and your CRA risk.

Keep detailed invoices, proof of payment, and a clear description of the work completed.

If you own a rental property and are not sure how to treat your expenses, it is worth reviewing before filing.

❗️Важливе оновлення щодо Underused Housing Tax (UHT).
Тепер affected owners не повинні подавати UHT-декларацію і не повинні сплачувати цей податок за 2025 рік і наступні роки. Це стало можливим після того, як Bill C-15 отримав Royal Assent 26 березня 2026 року. CRA уже оновила свою сторінку та прямо зазначає це правило.

Але є важливий нюанс: це не скасовує обов’язки за 2022, 2023 і 2024 роки. Якщо у вас раніше був обов’язок подавати UHT, ці роки все ще треба перевіряти окремо.

Що робити, якщо ви вже подали UHT форму за 2025 рік до цієї законодавчої зміни? CRA зазначає, що таких власників контактуватимуть листом щодо скасування поданих 2025 UHT returns. Тобто окремо заново нічого подавати не потрібно лише через цю зміну — але варто зберегти всі документи та стежити за листом від CRA.

Найбільший ризик зараз — не 2025 рік, а пропущені UHT-подання за 2022–2024 роки, особливо якщо нерухомість оформлена на корпорацію, траст, партнерство або іншу структуру, яка могла робити вас affected owner.

Якщо не впевнені, чи стосується це вас, краще перевірити ситуацію до подання або до закриття клієнтського файлу.

❗️Important update for residential property owners in Canada:

The federal Underused Housing Tax (UHT) has effectively been eliminated for the 2025 calendar year and future years. Bill C-15 received Royal Assent on March 26, 2026, and CRA now states that affected owners do not need to file a UHT return or pay the tax for 2025 and subsequent calendar years.

That said, this does not cancel past obligations. The requirement to file and pay UHT can still apply for the 2022, 2023, and 2024 calendar years, depending on the ownership structure and whether an exemption was available.

If you own residential property through a corporation, trust, partnership, or another structure that may have made you an “affected owner,” it is still important to review prior years carefully. The biggest risk now is not 2025 — it is missed filings for earlier years.

If you are unsure whether this applies to you, it is worth getting your situation reviewed before assuming everything is closed.

✅ Can your child’s SCHOOL fees count as “child care” for taxes?
Parents often ask: “My school offers before/after care… can I claim it?”
Yes — but ONLY the part that is truly child care (supervision). Tuition and “school fees” usually don’t qualify.
CRA allows child care claims when the fee is for care/supervision so a parent can work, run a business, or study.
More info: CRA Line 21400 + T778 (Child Care Expenses).

If the school offers extra supervision outside class time, these may qualify:
✅ Before-school care (e.g., 7:30–8:30)
✅ After-school care (e.g., 3:30–6:00)
✅ Lunch supervision (if it’s supervision/care, not instruction)
Important: the receipt should separate child care vs education/tuition.

🚫 What usually does NOT qualify
Parents often pay a “start-of-year fee” like $50. In most cases, this is NOT child care if it’s for:
❌ activity fee / agenda / classroom supplies
❌ photocopying / materials fee
❌ field trips / school events
❌ general school administration fee

👇 Real examples

✅ Example 1 — Claimable
Private school bill:
Tuition (academic program): $8,000 ❌ not child care
After-school care (3:30–6:00): $1,200 ✅ claimable as child care
➡️ Parents can claim the $1,200 (assuming other requirements are met).

✅ Example 2 — Partially claimable
School day ends 3:00, pickup at 5:30:
“Extended Day Supervision”: $900 ✅ claimable
“School activity fee”: $50 ❌ not claimable
➡️ Claim $900, not the $50.

✅ Example 3 — The $50 “school fee” (most common)
Invoice says: “Student activity fee $50”
➡️ Not child care. It’s a school/education cost.

✅ Example 4 — When a $50 fee could qualify
Invoice says: “Before/After Care registration fee $50”
➡️ May qualify if it’s required for the child care program (not just school enrollment).

Quick CRA test:
If you didn’t use before/after care, would you still pay the $50?
Yes → probably not child care
No → it might be child care

📌 Pro tip (to avoid CRA problems)
Ask the school for a receipt that clearly shows:
✅ “Before/After Care” / “Lunch Supervision”
❌ not just a single lump sum called “tuition”
