I have sold my second property and would like to know if I can claim the below mortgage expenses to calculate the capital gain/loss.
1 - Mortgage Interest ( from June - August)
2 - Mortgage Penalty (3 Months Bonus Interest)
3 - Mortgage (Discharge Administration Fee)
4 - Mortgage (Statement Fee)
5 - Mortgage (Reinvestment Fee)
To calculate your capital gain or loss, subtract the total of your property's ACB , and any outlays and expenses incurred to sell your property, from the proceeds of disposition.
As per the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) link: Outlays and expenses
Amounts that you incurred to sell a capital property. You can deduct outlays and expenses from your proceeds of disposition when calculating your capital gain or loss. You cannot reduce your other income by claiming a deduction for these outlays and expenses. These types of expenses include fixing-up expenses, finders' fees, commissions, brokers' fees, surveyors' fees, legal fees, transfer taxes, and advertising costs.
For more information please contact the CRA at 1-800-959-8281.
