PeteH Posted February 21, 2023 Report Share Posted February 21, 2023 Hi, I have a rental property outside of Canada and have been claiming CCA on the rental property for some time. My question is - now I’m planning to emigrate from Canada and will be filing a final tax return with deemed disposition rule. There will be capital gain from the foreign rental property, but what about CCA recapture in this case? Do I also need to include the recapture as part of the final tax return income or can I recapture the CCA in the future when I actually dispose the property? Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo123 Posted February 21, 2023 Report Share Posted February 21, 2023 Hello PeteH, It would best to contact the CRA and confirm with them. For example there are the following potential items with emigration : *Departure tax When you leave Canada, you are considered to have sold certain types of property (even if you have not sold them) at their fair market value (FMV) and to have immediately reacquired them for the same amount. This is called a deemed disposition and you may have to report a capital gain (also known as departure tax). Form T1161, List of Properties by an Emigrant of Canada *If the total FMV of all the property you owned when you left Canada was more than $25,000, complete Form T1161, List of Properties by an Emigrant of Canada.: https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/forms-publications/forms/t1161.html https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/international-non-residents/individuals-leaving-entering-canada-non-residents/leaving-canada-emigrants.html#dptx To contact CRA : 1-800-959-8281 for inquiries related to individuals.

PeteH Posted February 21, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2023 Hi, Thanks - yes, I'm aware of T1161 form. But would you by any chance know if CCA recapture occurs during "departure" or would that only kicks in at actual disposition in the future? Because CRA site only mentions capital gain, in it's "departure tax" Thanks again, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
