The Underused Housing Tax (UHT) is an annual 1% tax on the ownership of vacant or underused housing in Canada that took effect on January 1, 2022. The tax usually applies to non-resident, non-Canadian owners. In some situations, however, it also applies to Canadian owners. UHT returns are due by April 30 each year with significant penalties for late filing even if there is no tax owing.

For the 2022 tax year, CRA has extended the filing deadline to October 31, 2023. Corporations and partnerships that have residential property must file UHT returns even if the shareholders and partners are Canadian. Please refer to

CRA’s site for more information.
