What happens if I bought the property to live in Saskatchewan, but I am renting it now instead?
It is very common to change your mind on the use of a property after it is purchased. As life changes, what we originally intended does not always happen. If you purchased a property with the intention of living in it, the builder can apply for an Investment Property Rebate on your behalf. This reduces the price of the home to the purchaser, and the taxes owed to the Government by the builder.
In most cases, the home purchaser has no idea this has happened. If you then decide to rent the home instead of living in it, the Investor (homeowner) will more than likely receive a tax bill from CRA for the Investment Property Rebate applied to the new home purchase. The Investor will then need to apply for an Investment Property Rebate which offsets the bill from CRA. Again, this must be done within 2 years of purchasing the investment property or the Investment Property Rebate will no longer be claimable.
