EMPTY HOME TAX
Need Help Handling BC's Empty Home Tax?
We Can Help!
If you own a home in British Columbia but have found yourself residing elsewhere for the majority of the year due to unexpected changes or travel restrictions, you may have some questions when it comes to navigating BC’s empty home tax. Introduced in 2017, the speculation and vacancy tax is designed to help regulate the province’s competitive housing market and turn empty properties into homes for British Columbians and ensure foreign owners, specifically those with primarily foreign income contribute fairly to BC’s tax system. While the majority of full-time residents will be exempt from this tax, those who travel frequently for work or divide time between continents will be subject to a 3% tax for 2021 that is due July 2nd.
