🚨 Attention Tenants! Could You Be Liable for Your Landlord's Tax?🚨 Stop scrolling and share this crucial information with your friends and family. 📢 Did you know that if your landlord fails to pay taxes, you could be held liable? Yes, it’s true, and it happened to a tenant in Montreal. Here’s what you need to know: A Montreal tenant was audited and ordered to pay six years' worth of taxes, plus interest and penalties, because his **foreign landlord** didn’t pay taxes. According to Canadian law, tenants are required to withhold and remit 25% of the rent to the CRA if their landlord is a non-resident. The CRA couldn't collect from the overseas landlord, so the Canadian tenant was on the hook. Despite the tenant's argument that he didn’t know his landlord was a non-resident, he lost the tax court appeal. The court ruled that tenants must ensure 25% of the rent is withheld and sent to the CRA if the landlord is a non-resident. This case highlights a little-known rule that can have significant financial consequences. Key Takeaways: 1. Know Your Landlord's Status: Confirm if your landlord is a Canadian resident. 2. Withhold and Remit: If your landlord is a non-resident, withhold 25% of your rent and remit it to the CRA. 3. Avoid Penalties: Stay informed to avoid unexpected tax liabilities. Honestly, 99% of tenants might not be aware of this rule. Make sure you share this to spread the word! #TaxAwareness #TenantRights #CRA #CanadianTaxes #LandlordTenant #TaxLiability #FinancialAwareness #RealEstate #TaxCompliance #Montreal #CanadaRevenueAgency #KnowYourRights #StayInformed #ProtectYourself 🛡️ Stay informed and protect yourself from unexpected tax liabilities! 🛡️

🏠 Attention Landlords: Are You Getting Your Tax Returns Right? 📝 According to recent findings, nine out of 10 landlords are making errors in their income tax returns. 🤯 Dodgy claims for repairs and maintenance on rental properties are under scrutiny by the Australian Tax Office (ATO). Assistant commissioner Rob Thomson highlighted that many landlords are mistakenly overestimating deductions, particularly in repairs and maintenance. 🚧 This year, the ATO is closely monitoring claims that may be inflated to offset increases in rental income for a greater tax benefit. With median weekly rents hitting a national high of $627 in April and rent growth on the rise, it's more important than ever for landlords to ensure accurate tax reporting. 📈 Don't risk falling into the wrong side of the tax laws!

📢 **Montreal Renter Controversy!** 📢 🏠 Last month, a Montreal renter was court-ordered to pay SIX years of back tax for his non-resident landlord's unpaid withholding tax. But now, the federal government says it will NOT be pursuing tenants for this. 🚫💸 📜 **Minister's Statement** 📜 🗣️ In a statement on X, the Minister of National Revenue, Marie Claude Bibeau, said: "The CRA does not intend to collect any portion of non-resident landlords' unpaid taxes from individual tenants." It is incorrect to state otherwise. 🗣️ **David's Case** 😞 Despite this, David, a Montreal tenant, was ordered to pay SIX YEARS of his non-resident landlord's withholding tax. Way back in 2018, he was audited and ordered to pay the taxes. Just last year, he lost in court when he tried to appeal it. 😞⚖️ 📅 **Minister's Response** 📅 📅 In response to the public outcry, the Minister stated: "This law has existed for nearly a century, and there is not a single instance of an assessment made to an individual tenant in the last decade." She added that the CRA “does not expect individual tenants to withhold 25 per cent of the rent from their landlords.” 🏠💬 **Expert Opinion** 🧑⚖️ Experts point out that while this statement is reassuring, an actual change to the Income Tax Act is needed to ensure it couldn't be used again to go after tenants like David. 🧑⚖️📜 📢 **What Do You Think?** 📢 🤔 Is the Minister's word good enough, given that just last year, the CRA went after a tenant, effectively ordering him to pay $43,000 of his landlord's back tax? 🤔💭 Or do you think we need to get the tax act changed right away and should be skeptical of anything the CRA says? 🤨📝 💬 I'd love to know your thoughts in the comments below! 💬👇 ❤️ And as always, if you found value in this video, please give it a like ❤️, share 🔄, and follow @callcorbinteam for more great content! 🙏 #Montreal #RealEstate #Canada #Tax #RenterRights #LegalUpdate #Tenant #HousingCrisis

🚨 Attention Landlords: Important Tax Reminder! 🚨 As the self-assessment deadline approaches, HMRC is urging landlords with unpaid tax on property income to disclose their buy-to-let earnings. The Let Property Campaign is designed for those who owe tax from renting residential properties, whether in the UK or abroad. 🔍 Key Points: If you have undisclosed rental income, notify HMRC now to avoid higher penalties or criminal prosecution. You have 90 days to calculate and pay any owed tax after disclosure. The campaign applies to individual landlords, including those renting multiple properties, rooms exceeding the Rent a Room Scheme threshold, and holiday lettings. Remember, rental income from inherited properties is also taxable. 💡 Common Mistakes: Failing to report rental income when moving in with a partner or renting out a marital home post-divorce. Not declaring income from properties rented to friends or family, even if no formal rent is charged. 📅 Act Now! Whether your errors were unintentional or deliberate, it’s crucial to notify HMRC to avoid future complications. For more information, visit the HMRC website or consult a tax professional. #HMRC #TaxCompliance #Landlords #LetPropertyCampaign #SelfAssessment #PropertyIncome #TaxAdvice #UKTax
