Thanks for the info..im a new subscriber..by the way i have tfsa and lets say from 15k it went to 25k and i want to withdraw all of the 25k..do i need to pay tax for that?
@@jaysontapiod5353 thanks for joining the channel! So if you have 25k in your tfsa and you like to take it out. Everything is tax free. Hence the account name is tax free account. Ps if you need to take it out. Try take it out before Dec 31 So the room reset in Jan 1 and you have extra $10k room compare to others ☺️
People will enjoy instant benefit each time they contribute (or max out) RRSP. As the size of RRSP grows every year as well as the investment return, people will retire with a remarkable huge RRSP. Each withdraw you will be taxed as income and affect most of the senior benefits; you may wonder is RRSP an excellent option.

May goodness I need someone like you right now. My wife and I are about to sell our rental property, and I am terrified of the amount of capital gains we will have to pay. I have no idea which of your 7 strategies I should use, or perhaps use several at the same time. I have no idea where to start. We currently live in Ottawa Canada. Any advice would be appreciated.
So first do you really need to sell it in Dec. Or you want wait until early next year to sell it. Maybe use your rrsp to offset it. Any capital loss you can claim Etc etc
First off a million thank you’s for even responding. My tenants will be leaving at the end of November. Then I need to access the property, see if I need to put money into refreshing the place to re rent, or sell. I’d like to keep it, but my wife wants to sell it. I am in a unique situation, the property was gifted to use and so when having to calculate capital gains, I have no idea what the property was worth when we acquired it.

Can you elaborate the Leverage Investment Loans please? Say I am going to make $100K in capital gains. Are you saying I can lend that $100K out? Or I can take out a loan for $100K towards an investment and use tax deduction on the interest over the term of the loan?
Mainly have to deal with specific companies that offer those. And starting in mid 2022 cra starts to hammer this kind investment so might not be as effective now
Thomas why would you take the oas and gis if your financially set like in this example that you have non taxable assets in your TFsa? Aren’t you going to be taxed a lot between your 60 to 70? Are they going to be working or not during that time?
Hey Jay. Good question. it depends on how much taxable income in those years. Side note. Having more income indeed equals more tax. But at the end, you still get more in the bank account. And for oas and cpp usually are gone once you passaway vs other asset you can pass it down to the next generation
Hello. So before you put into tfsa. You have to sell the investment in your non reg account. Which triggers capital gain. .but on going in the tfsa will he tax free

Please tell me if you know about it. I live in Canada for half a year and plan to invest for 10 years and save ETF funds, not to sell, only to save and collect, then I plan to go to another country where there is no capital gain tax, for six months or more (in order to change tax residence) and already in this country to sell assets and take the money to another country is it possible?
It's not that simple. 1. Where you going to that ETF funds? In non reg account? Then you need to file tax every year. 2. Sure you can def go to other countries and still have the account active. But what will your status be? Non resident in Canada? Then you need to report foreign income? I suggest talk to an accountant for details

Hi Thomas! Thanks for a very informative video. I bought a house last 2005 for 210k and became our principal residence for 13 years. Then in 2018, I took an equity from this house an amount of 80k. The 80k was used as a down payment to buy another house which became our residence. The first house we bought became a rental property since 2018.. We had a balance of 230k from the bank when I took the equity. I just sold this rental property this month for 350k. My question is: How do I compute for the capital gains? Is it from the purchase price in 2005 or when we converted into a rental property? Please advise.
Hi Danny, thanks for your question.. anytime until 2018 will be tax emept.. however please talk to your accountant.. so he can give you a exact number of taxes you need to pay..
You can make a subsection 45(2) election to designate your former residence as principal residence up to 4 years after the change of use to rental property. However, this election should be filed with your 2018 personal tax return. Late filing of the election is possible as long as you haven't deducted any capital cost allowance on the rental property against your rental income since 2018.
@@cellochai thank you for the info you shared to me. Since I did not claim any capital cost allowance since 2018, does it mean that this property will be exempted from capital gains tax when I will file my income tax return next year?
@@dannycravalho2493 You will have to file the Subsection 45(2) election ASAP as it is already late. CRA will then let you know if they accept the late-filed election. If they do, then you will be able to designate the rental property as principal residence for the entire ownership period and the capital gain will be fully sheltered under the principal residence exemption, given you've disposed the property within 4 years after change of use.
Hi, quick question. Looking to buy a house and sell it to make some money. I make 80k per year and my wife make 0. If I put the house in my wife's name would I pay less capital gains tax?
You failed to mention 1. Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) risk when you make a substantial RRSP contribution in the tax year you realize a capital gain; 2. Donating shares to a charitable organization, not having to pay tax on the capital gain on the property donated and claiming a donation amount in the year the shares were donated; 3. Some losses could be Allowable Business Investment Loss (ABIL) if such losses are realized on Canadian Controlled Private Corporations (CCPC) shares or loans receivable / debentures.
By the way, you should consider making an RRSP spousal contribution, which may help save tax in the long term when withdrawing funds from your RRSP or RRIF IN future years
Try this method: Open a trading account in Singapore and there’s no capital gain tax forever. Use an American credit card to pay most bills and wire cash from Singapore to America to pay off credit cards.
World income is taxable in Canada for a Canadian Resident. So you are supposed to pay taxes for income earned in Singapore or Dubai or any country. Under CRS program CRA can easily figure out your world income if they choose to scrutinize you. and there are severe penalties for Tax Evasion.
