Designation of a Property as a Principal Residence | Tax year | |||||||||||||||||||||
by an Individual (Other than a Personal Trust) | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Use this form to designate a property as a principal residence. You must also complete the "Principal residence designation" section of Schedule 3 for the year you are in one of the following situations: |
||||||||||||||||||||||
• | You disposed of, or were considered to have disposed of, your principal residence, or any part of it | |||||||||||||||||||||
• | You granted someone an option to buy your principal residence, or any part of it | |||||||||||||||||||||
Note | ||||||||||||||||||||||
If you were not a resident of Canada for the entire time you owned the designated property, call 1-800-959-8281. The period of non-residence may reduce or eliminate the availability of the principal residence exemption. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
For more information about designating a principal residence and what qualifies as a principal residence, see Income Tax Folio S1-F3-C2, Principal Residence, or the "Principal residence" chapter in Guide T4037, Capital Gains. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
You can only designate one property as your principal residence for any specific year. However, where you sell a principal residence and buy another (or move to another property that you own) in the same year, the "plus one" rule in calculating the principal residence exemption amount will allow you to claim the principal residence exemption for both properties for that year even though you can only designate one property as your principal residence. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
For dispositions that occurred after October 2, 2016, if you were a non-resident throughout the taxation year in which the property was purchased or acquired, the "plus 1" rule does not apply. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
For dispositions after 2022, if you owned a housing unit (including a rental property) or held a right to acquire a housing unit located in Canada for less than 365 consecutive days before the disposition, the property is generally considered to be a flipped property, unless it was already considered to be inventory of the taxpayer. The resulting gain on the disposition of a flipped property is taxable as business income and not as a capital gain. Therefore, you cannot use the principal residence exemption. There are exceptions to this rule when the disposition occurs due to, or in anticipation of, certain life events. For more information on these new rules and relevant life event exceptions, see Guide T4037. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
If you are filing electronically, keep this form in case the Canada Revenue Agency asks to see it later. If you are filing a paper return, you must complete, sign, and attach this form to your return. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
Definitions | ||||||||||||||||||||||
For the purpose of this form, the acquisition date is the later of the following: December 31, 1971, or the date on which you acquired or last reacquired the property. However, if you or your spouse or common-law partner filed Form T664 or T664(Seniors), you or your spouse or common-law partner are not considered to have disposed of and immediately reacquired the property as a result of that election. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
The term spouse used throughout this form applies to a person to whom you are legally married. For 1993 to 2000, a spouse included a common-law spouse. For 2001 and later years, the reference to spouse is replaced with spouse or common-law partner as defined in the "Definitions" section in Guide T4037, Capital Gains. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
Note | ||||||||||||||||||||||
If you made an election to have your same-sex partner considered your common-law partner for 1998, 1999, or 2000, then, for those years, your common-law partner also can not designate a different housing unit as their principal residence. |

If you disposed of, or were considered to have disposed of, a property for which you or your spouse or common-law partner filed Form T664 or T664(Seniors), Election to Report a Capital Gain on Property Owned at the End of February 22, 1994, use this form to calculate the capital gain for the year if one of the following applies: |
||||||||||||||||||||||
