The Airbnb Tax Nobody Knows About
You put your home on Airbnb. The bookings are strong. The income is rolling in. But according to CRA, your home may no longer be a home. It may now be treated as commercial property – like a hotel. And when you sell, you could owe $150,000 in unexpected tax. Here is the breakdown: 🏠 How Airbnb can trigger CRA's "change of use" rules ⚖️ The 2024 court case where CRA successfully applied HST on sale 💰 How one homeowner could owe roughly $150,000 in HST alone 🚫 Why stopping Airbnb does not fix it — every exit triggers the same tax 📋 What you should do right now if you host on Airbnb These rules were written 30+ years ago for hotels. Nobody in government has updated them for Airbnb. And Airbnb is not warning you.
What To Do When CRA Audits You
Getting a letter from CRA is not the end of the world — but how you respond in the first 72 hours can change everything. Most business owners panic. Some ignore it entirely. Both are mistakes. After 15+ years of defending clients through CRA audits, here are the 9 things I tell every single client the moment they get that letter: 1️⃣ Don't panic — but don't ignore it either 2️⃣ Call your tax advisor before you call anyone else 3️⃣ Understand what type of audit you're dealing with 4️⃣ Organize your records — and only what they asked for 5️⃣ Know your rights as a taxpayer 6️⃣ Respond strategically, not emotionally 7️⃣ Prepare for the reassessment before it comes 8️⃣ File a Notice of Objection if you need to 9️⃣ The one step most people skip (slide 10 👀) Save this post. You might not need it today — but when that letter shows up, you will want it.
"It's A Write-Off" Doesn't Mean It's "Free"
Most people think a company car is a "full write-off" 💸 The reality, CRA has strict limits, caps, and taxable benefit rules that most people never hear about. Before buying a vehicle through your corporation, know these facts.
Where Does Your GST Go?
The government collected $52.5 billion in GST last year. The interest on the debt? $54 billion. Your GST pays for nothing.
Spring Economic Update 2026
Canada's Spring Economic Update for 2026 is here 🇨🇦 From lower CPP contributions and grocery support to fuel tax relief and homebuyer incentives, these changes could directly impact your finances and tax planning. Their goal is to build a stronger Canada and create long-term economic growth for Canadians. But with rising public debt and major new spending, the bigger question is – who pays for it later?
CRA Is Still Auditing A Tax That No Longer Exists
The Underused Housing Tax was rescinded under Bill C-15 for 2025 and subsequent years. No filings required. No tax owed. But the CRA is still auditing taxpayers who were exempt from the old rules and didn't file the paperwork – for a tax they were never going to owe in the first place. The minimum penalty? $1,000 for individuals and $2,000 for corporations. Per property. Per year. That is not compliance work. That is revenue collection through paperwork penalties on a regime the parliament has already thrown out.
