Tax Liability at the Time of Transfer; Parent’s Capital Gains: The parent must pay capital gains tax on the increase in the property's value from the original purchase price (Adjusted Cost Basis) to the current FMV on the transfer date. Half of this capital gain is added to the parent's taxable income for that year.
Inheritance vs. Lifetime TransferTransfer at Death:
If the rental property is passed down through a Will upon death, the deceased parent's estate is hit with the capital gains and CCA recapture tax on their final tax return. However, the child's cost base is "stepped up" to the FMV at the date of death, which changes how future gains are calculated
