Underused Housing Tax educational webinar

The Chamber has partnered with Canada Revenue Agency in hosting a free Underused Housing Tax educational webinar on Thursday June 22^nd from 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm.

The Underused Housing Tax is an annual 1% tax on the ownership of vacant or underused housing in Canada that took effect on January 1, 2022. The tax usually applies to non-resident, non-Canadian owners. In some situations, however, it also applies to Canadian owners. This webinar is a summary of some of the most important information about the Underused Housing Tax.

This webinar is being facilitated by Jordan Carr, a Senior Liaison Officer with Canada Revenue Agency. Jordan holds a Bachelor of Business Administration with a major in Accounting. Since graduating, Jordan has work for the CRA in multiple departments and has received specialized training from the CRA. Currently, Jordan as a Senior Liaison Officer, contacts small business owners to help them understand their obligations for taxes and how to maintain better books and records.
