Did you receive a Speculation tax declaration?

Irina Bartnik Notary • February 12, 2020
This is second year now that residential property owners must complete annual declaration for the Speculation and vacancy tax. This tax is applicable only to certain designated taxable regions.

If your home was or is located in the designated area, it is your responsibility to file the declaration. If you do not file the declaration, you will be assessed for a speculation tax. Unlike Vancouver empty home tax, Speculation tax does not get attached to the property. It is attached to the home owner that owned the property (was registered owner in Land Title office) as of December 31st, 2019.

Please visit this web site for more information on how to file and determine if your property is subject to Speculation tax:

Most of us will receive the notice with no problem and will file the declarations. Those that sold the property in the beginning of this year (2020) and moved to a different home may miss the notices that were sent out in the mail. If you know someone that sold the property recently, please talk to them and bring awareness that they still need to file a Speculation tax notice , even if they did not receive it in the mail. You may save them a lot of money and stress.

Brandy is a 2-year-old German Shepherd mix with a serious love for belly rubs, fetch, and being your constant shadow. She’s sweet, affectionate, and always ready to flop over for tummy time! This big, bouncy girl handles beautifully and is incredibly people-oriented—so much so that being left alone makes her sad. She will not hesitate to vocalize when she feels lonely or may try to find an escape route to get to her people. Because of this, she’d thrive in a home where someone is around most of the time to shower her with attention and keep her company. Brandy is easily excitable and can be jumpy when making new friends with people, so she’s best suited to a home without kids. She knows “sit” and “drop it,” has a cute little auto-sit when she wants something, and will gently place her toys at your feet for fetch (which she LOVES and doesn’t destroy—bonus!). Brandy also insists on being the one and only furry royalty in your life. She doesn’t want to share her humans, her home, or her toys—so no other pets, please! She’s ready to rule her kingdom solo as the Queen Bee she knows she is. If you’ve got a secure yard, a good throwing arm, and room in your heart for a one-dog show, Brandy just might be your perfect match. Check out LAPS here for more adoptables .
