Consultation on the Underused Housing Tax |
|||
 |
|
The Tourism Industry Association of Canada (TIAC) appreciates the opportunity to provide its views on the application of the proposed Underused Housing Tax, and more specifically on whether special rules should be established in respect of residential properties located in resort and tourism communities. TIAC believes that special rules are warranted and should be established in respect of residential properties located in resort and tourism communities to ensure that i) every owner of a residential property who offers their properties as short-term vacation rentals be required to file an annual declaration with the Canada Revenue Agency for each such property they own, and ii) all owners of residential property in resort and tourism communities who offer their properties as short-term rentals be subject to the annual Underused Housing Tax. |

The ability of travel, hospitality and leisure companies to take full advantage of international sporting events and their legacy is determined by intense preparation and a strategic view of targeting new customers.
