At the beginning of the year, the Minister of Finance and Intergovernmental Affairs, announced that the federal government is deferring the date on which the capital gains inclusion rate would increase from 50% to 66.66% on capital gains realized annually above $250,000 by individuals and on all capital gains realized by corporations and most types of trusts.
The changes planned for June 25, 2024 have therefore been postponed until January 1, 2026.
“The deferral of the increase to the capital gains inclusion rate will provide certainty to Canadians, whether they be individuals or business owners, as we quickly approach tax season.” - The Honourable Dominic LeBlanc, |
