Underused Housing Tax (UHT) Quick Reference Chart

The new Underused Housing Tax (UHT) imposes a 1% annual tax on the value of residential real estate considered to be vacant or underused that is owned on December 31 of each year. The government indicated that the tax would target property owned by non-Canadians; however, the scope of filing requirements extends to many Canadian entities and individuals, including private corporations, partnerships and trustees of a trust. The first filings and taxes are due on April 30, 2023, but no penalties or interest will be applied for UHT returns and payments that the CRA receives before November 1, 2023.

This summary is intended to be a general guide in determining filing obligations and tax exposure. The specific legislation, regulations and CRA administrative policy should be reviewed for a complete and detailed understanding.
