Starting January 1, 2025, British Columbia is introducing the BC Home Flipping Tax to curb short-term property sales. In this video, I break down how this new tax works, how it differs from the federal property flipping tax, and what this means for homebuyers, real estate investors, and sellers.
š Topics Covered:
ā What is the BC Home Flipping Tax?
ā How it applies to residential properties, pre-sales, and assignments.
ā Key differences between BCās new tax and the federal property flipping tax (effective January 2023).
ā How much tax youāll pay: 20% tax rate and gradual reduction over 2 years.
ā Exemptions for primary residences and what conditions apply.
ā Why realtors and investors need to understand these changes.
ā ļø Stay Informed: Understanding these tax rules is critical to avoid surprises and maximize your investment. Real estate can be profitable, but taxes like GST, flipping taxes, and speculation taxes can add up quickly.
