New Capital Gains Tax Updates for 2024: Key Changes You Need to Know
The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has proposed significant updates to the capital gains inclusion rate, effective June 25, 2024. These changes impact how individuals and businesses calculate taxable capital gains and losses, emphasizing the importance of proactive tax planning.
What Are the Proposed Changes?
Starting June 25, 2024, the basic inclusion rate for all capital gains and losses will increase from one-half (50%) to two-thirds (66.67%). This means that a larger portion of your capital gains will be subject to taxation, while the same rate applies to offsetting losses.
For example, if you sell an asset for a $10,000 profit:
Before June 25, 2024: Only $5,000 (50%) would be taxable.
After June 25, 2024: $6,667 (66.67%) will now be taxable.
Why This Matters
The increase in the inclusion rate affects the tax liabilities for individuals and businesses selling assets, such as investments, stocks, or real estate (excluding primary residences). For business owners, this is particularly important when selling business assets or shares.
