Key Points
- Canada's new capital gains deferral policy allows CRE investors to defer taxes when reinvesting proceeds in any asset within the country, offering unprecedented flexibility and liquidity.
- The policy removes the barriers of "like-kind" exchanges, enabling investors to pivot between asset types—such as moving from multifamily to industrial or even into tech funds—without triggering taxable events.
- The proposed increase in TFSA contributions for Canadian investments provides an additional tax-free incentive, making Canada more competitive and potentially attracting repatriated institutional capital.
