The Intergenerational Farm Rollover Provisions - Common Traps
The Income Tax Act contains several provisions that allow for farmers to ensure that their farmland or farm corporation shares can be transferred from one generation to the next in a tax effective manner. One of the most important and most commonly relied upon provisions is referred to as the Intergenerational Farm Rollover provision (referred to hereafter as the “Farm Rollover”). These rules allow for qualifying assets (Qualified Farm Property or Family Farm Corporation Shares) to be transferred from a taxpayer to their children or grandchildren on a tax deferred basis provided that certain criteria are met.
New T3 Trust Reporting Rules for 2023 and Beyond
Starting with the 2023 tax year, newly amended tax legislation will result in additional tax reporting requirements that will create a T3 Trust return filing requirement for many taxpayers that prior to 2023, did not have any trust reporting obligation. Most significantly, these new T3 Trust return reporting requirements will apply to many ownership scenarios where properties are jointly owned or owned in joint title.
