How it works: Rental income is added to your other income and taxed at your marginal rate. You can deduct operating expenses, mortgage interest, and Capital Cost Allowance (CCA). CCA is 4% of the building value (excluding land) for Class 1 residential properties. Rental losses can offset other income in Canada.

Rental Income Tax in Canada

Rental income in Canada is taxed at your marginal rate. You can deduct reasonable expenses incurred to earn the rental income, including property taxes, insurance, repairs, management fees, mortgage interest, and CCA.

Capital Cost Allowance (CCA): Residential rental buildings fall under Class 1 with a 4% declining balance rate. CCA is calculated on the building value only — land is not depreciable. Note that CCA is a non-cash deduction that reduces your tax but does not affect actual cash flow.

Rental losses: If your deductible expenses exceed rental income, the loss can be used to offset your other income sources, reducing your overall tax bill.
