Homes sold between 366 days and 729 days after purchase will still be taxed, but at a lower rate. Once a property is owned for 730 days or more, the tax no longer applies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The proposed legislation contains a number of exemptions based on where the property is located and major life circumstances that may have led to the sale of the property, such as the death of a family member or divorce. The law includes a \u201cprimary residence deduction\u201d if a homeowner sells their primary residence within two years.

When a buyer is putting a deposit on a new condo in a hot area like Vancouver or Kelowna, they don\u2019t know where the market is heading. \u201cIf the market goes up and you want to cash out \u2026 [if you tax those people] that could steer buyers away from buying new construction,\u201d he explains. \u201cNo one would buy pre-sales. And then you would have a complete halt to all new construction condos.\u201d The government indicated, however, that the flipping tax will only apply from the contract date \u2014 either its effective date or the assignment date if it was assigned \u2014 avoiding the issue altogether.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Karrasch was also concerned that the flipping tax could dissuade flippers or contracts that fulfill an important housing role: improving housing supply through substantial renovations to run-down housing units. \u201cIt looks like now the government is introducing substantial renovation exemptions, which is a very good move because we don\u2019t want to discourage fixing up properties.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243;
