FINANCES 46 How renting can help you at tax time

by Caroline Battista

EDITORS’ NOTES

a

re you too busy to manage a home? Perhaps you’ve done the homeownership thing, and want to unshackle yourself from the costs of upkeep and home maintenance?

Most everyone these days is looking at ways to de-stress and simplify their lives, and renting rather than owning one can be one of the easiest ways to get relief. When you really think about it, it’s an option that may take some getting used to!

Needless to say, when you’re renting a home, your “to-do” list will likely look very different than those from your homeownership days. Whether you’re a lifelong renter or a homeowner in need of a change, this issue of Renters Guide is for you.

We’ve got some great advice on renting and decorating in the issue. Check it out! Your new “to-do” list is waiting.

’m really quite proud to be involved in helping you find your new home by bringing you this magazine each week. In fact, the magazine has been around for over 25 years and I’ve been on board for about eight years, always looking out for great information, advice and opportunities to improve your search for your apartment.

Efforts around here to bring you the best experience have moved online with RentersGuide.ca and The Renters Guide App. Same great information, but more ways to access it. We’ve got new tools to help the search – like neighbourhood profiles, so that you have all the info you need to move to a new community.

RentersGuide.ca allows us to feature timely information – and it’s regionalized so that, wherever you are, we let you know what’s happening in your rental market.

We also bring you local news and timely articles and columns from experts that can help you with issues, educate you on your rights and responsibilities, and also show you the humourous side of being a renter.

But it doesn’t stop there.

Our newest offering will really impress. It’s our newsletter.

Every two weeks we deliver a short, sweet and to-the-point newsletter, right to your inbox. Great articles, fun stats, advice, videos and more. All you need to do is sign up at RentersGuide.ca/subscribe. While you’ll still get the best stuff in print, it will give you an opportunity to get the goods ahead of time and read it on-the-go. You won’t want to miss an issue.

Plus, you can always rely on Renters Guide - online and in print – to bring you the best listings and the best selection of available apartments, making it easy to make your move!

Five signs you’re

A RENTER IT DOESN’T TAKE a certain type of person to rent their own space, but a renter does become a certain type of person. Here are five signs you’re a renter.

3. YOU ROCK AT SMALL TALK

1. YOU’RE A HANDYMAN (SORT OF)

Being a renter keeps you on your toes and your experience has served you well because today, you are the ultimate life hacker. It doesn’t matter what life throws your way, you’ve worked around your landlords “rules” and now you can find a solution to anything.

Just like home owning, your rental will present minor annoyances like a continuous leaking kitchen sink and a squeaking oven door. But as an experienced renter, you’re able to decode any cricks and cracks in your home and do minor repairs yourself. If not, you have your landlord on speed dial.

2. WHY BUY WHEN YOU CAN DIY? Your rental is your home and naturally you want it to reflect your personality and taste. Yet, you always put off investing in good decor and furniture RentersGuide.ca because you’re only renting. Never mind you’ve been only renting for the last 3 years. Instead, your Pinterest is filled with pins like “7 DIY projects for renters” and “28 decorating tricks to brighten up your rental home”.

RentersGuide.ca

18

You can only talk to your neighbours so many times throughout the year about the weather. Instead of living though the awkward silence of an 11 floor elevator ride, you’ve mastered the art of small talk. You can keep a lighthearted conversation going for at least 90 seconds and you’re able to get out of it once you’ve reached your door.“Nice talking to you Bob!”

4. ULTIMATE LIFE HACKER

5. YOU ROLL WITH THE PUNCHES If you’re a new renter or an experienced renter, chances are you’re renting because you’re not sure where life is going, and you’re enjoying the ride.

Either way, you roll with the punches and enjoy the flexibility that renting provides.

If any of these signs remotely describe you, congratulations! You are a renter.

How renting can help you AT TAX TIME

BY CAROLINE BATTISTA

MOST PEOPLE ONLY THINK ABOUT THEIR TAXES in April. But tax planning really should be a year round activity because if you find yourself with a surprise tax bill at the deadline, there is nothing you can do about it.

And the same applies to missing paperwork and receipts. Every piece of paper represents less tax you have to pay so all of it is important.

Here are some of the benefits of renting at tax time.

Rent credits in Ontario and Manitoba Only Ontario and Manitoba offer rent credits and both are tied to income. So you may have rent receipts but if your income exceeds the threshold, you may not see any benefit from your rent paid.

If you do qualify, your rent receipts are valuable.

For example, a single parent with a net income of $40,000 and paying $1,200 a month rent would receive an annual Ontario Trillium Benefit of $392.

Outside of provincial credits, renters can claim a portion of their rent as well as other household costs under a couple of different circumstances.

RentersGuide.ca

Working from home? How to make it work for you For people who are required to work from home as part of their job, you are allowed to claim a portion of your rent, utilities and maintenance as employment expenses. Commissioned sales people RentersGuide.ca

46

may also claim insurance. You need a signed T2200 Form Declaration of Conditions of Employment from your employer in order to qualify.

Unfortunately, you cannot claim your entire apartment or condo as a home office. You have to calculate the amount of square footage your home office takes up in your place. So if your apartment is 1,000 square feet and your office takes up 100 square feet, you can claim 10 per cent of your rent, maintenance and utilities as expenses.

Self-employment claims Self-employed Canadians can also claim home office expenses on their tax returns as part of their business expenses. Again, you need to calculate the amount of space your office takes up in your apartment to determine how much you can claim.

For businesses like a home daycare, you also need to calculate the number of hours you use the space for your business. If your home office transforms into your dining room every night, you are not solely using it for business and this should be reflected in your calculations.

Home office supplies are also a legitimate expense for self-employed Canadians. So staples, pens and copier paper are all a tax deduction. For larger items such as computers and printers, you can claim a percentage of the cost and then depreciation in future years.

If you are claiming home office expenses, make sure you keep your receipts and paperwork to support your claim. The Canada Revenue Agency can ask you to prove your expenses and without the receipts, it will be denied. Credit card statements are not enough. You need a receipt that shows the breakdown of your purchase.

Completing your tax return is much easier when you have prepared over the year. Trying to find slips on April 30 makes things stressful. Spending the time pays off and makes sure that you don’t miss a thing on your tax return.

CAROLINE BATTISTA Caroline Battista began her career at H&R Block Canada as a tax professional and is now a Senior Tax Analyst. She lives in Vancouver with her family. hrblock.ca
