If you are an affected owner of a residential property on December 31 of a calendar year, you have to pay the underused housing tax for the residential property for the calendar year, unless your ownership of the residential property is exempt from the tax for the calendar year.
Where certain conditions are met, your ownership of a residential property may be exempt from the underused housing tax if the property is any of the following:
•a vacation property that is located in an eligible area of Canada
•used as a primary place of residence or for qualifying occupancy
•not suitable for year-round use
•seasonally inaccessible

•outside both a census metropolitan area and a census agglomeration

•you, or your spouse or common-law partner, personally use the residential property as a place of residence or lodging for at least 28 days in the calendar year
Every affected owner of a residential property must keep records to enable the determination of their obligations and liabilities under the UHTA. Generally, you must keep records for six years from the end of the year to which they relate.
If you do not have adequate records to support that your ownership of a residential property is exempt from the underused housing tax for a calendar year, the CRA may disallow your exemption.
