Where Should I Invest? Real Estate Investing in Canada Real Estate Taxes, AI Audits, and Staying Ahead of the CRA
In this episode of Where Should I Invest, Sarah Larbi is joined by guest co-host Kelly Gong to interview Michal Wach, a real estate tax specialist who transitioned from a career in policing to helping investors navigate the complex world of Canadian taxes.
Michal breaks down why “doing it yourself” is the fastest way to fall behind and why the CRA’s new tools mean transparency is no longer optional.
- The “Invisible” Partner: Why the CRA is always a partner in your deals and how to manage that relationship.
- AI and the CRA: How technology is making it easier for the government to find discrepancies.
- The HST Monster: Understanding why HST is never “your money” and the dangers of neglecting it.
- Personal vs. Corporate: When is the right time to move from owning properties in your personal name to a corporate structure?
- The Power Team: Why having a bookkeeper and a tax-specialist accountant is non-negotiable for growth.
- Common Pitfalls: The biggest mistakes investors make during tax season and how to avoid them.
