A tax shelter is defined as a “gifting arrangement” by the CRA. If you don’t have a Tax Shelter number, or a business, partnership or GST/HST registration number, you don’t need to fill in those spaces.

Hi Susan,

 

Do I need this number if I am only renting out a house?

No, you do not need a tax shelter . Here is our TurboTax article to help you further: Taxes for Landlords: How Taxes on Rental Income Work
