In Canada you pay the capital gains only on investment properties that are sold and it's paid with your income taxes (so you may have a income tax balance due when you file your taxes, for the year the property was sold).

You purchased land 20 years ago for 20000 and this year sold it for 17000 so do you have to pay taxes on the 17000 this year?

No. This should be treated as a capital gain/loss. If you bought the land for $20,000 and sold it for $17,000 you do not have any income or a gain. On the contrary, you have a $3,000 capital loss which can be used to offset some of your income and decrease your taxes.

Where do capital gains come from?

If you buy a house, stocks or just about anything, you will have a capital gain or loss on the sale. If you have a gain, you pay tax immediately. If you have a loss, you can write that off $3,000 per year. Most people say this is unfair to a person who has lost a lot in the stock or housing market. If you lose money on your home, it is not deductible. If you gain money on your home, if is taxable above an exemption. Some economist say if you buy a house and then sell it and buy another, why would you pay capital gains. You still have a house. The only thing that has changed is inflation on of the money supply.


Do you have to pay capital gain taxes on a home that was willed to you then you sold it?

Yes, you may have to pay capital gains taxes on a home that was willed to you if you sell it. However, when inherited property is sold, the cost basis is "stepped up" to the fair market value at the time of the original owner's death, potentially reducing the taxable gain. If you sell the home for less than this stepped-up basis, you may not owe capital gains taxes. It's advisable to consult a tax professional for specific guidance based on your situation.

You sold a house your residence and you are wanting to wait a year or so before you buy again Will you have to pay capital gains tax?

It makes absolutely no difference if you wait a year or if you never buy another house again in your whole life. If the house was your principle residence for two of the five years immediately before you sold it and you owned the house for two of the five years before you sold it, the first $250,000 of capital gains is excluded from income (you pay no tax on it). If yo file a joint return and your spouse also lived in the house for two of the preceding five years, then the first $500,000 of capital gains is excluded. A reduced exclusion may be available if you had to move early because of reasons beyond your control. You pay tax on any capital gains above that. You may use the exclusion only once every two years. You may not claim a capital loss on a house you used for personal purposes (you lived in it rather than renting it out or using it for a business or investment).

I know I must pay capital gains taxes but do I have to pay before I can get my profits?

A capital increases charge is a duty on the benefit that a financial backer makes from the offer of a venture like stock offers. On capital gains, advance tax must be paid. However, in order to pay his advance tax installment, one cannot accurately estimate the capital gain advance. Therefore, if a taxpayer has a capital gain after the advance tax installment due dates, the tax on that gain must be paid in the remaining installments.

If the house was your main home for any two of the five years before you sold it and you owned the house for any two of the five years before you sold it, the first $250,000 of capital gains is excluded from income. If you file a joint return and the house was also your spouse's main home for two of the five previous years, the exclusion goes up to $500,000. You can use the exclusion once every two years. Any capital gains above the exclusion amount are taxable.
