Investors and rental owners
There are two types of Rental income from outside Canada:
- Renting your principal residence in the UK to cover utilities and maintenance costs only (no revenues).
- Renting your principal residence for revenue, or renting a separate residence.
You don't pay capital gains unless you sell the property or any assets in the property with a profit.
You need to fill the T1135 form and the T776 form to report the amount of income.
To fill the T1135, search for "Foreign Income Verification Statment (T1135)". and fill the appropriate boxes that apply to your rental property and income. Keep in mind that you are reporting the cost value of the property (fair market value when you became a resident), not the fair market value now.
Then search for "Rental Property" and report your income and expenses in Canadian dollars.
