Why do I have to file an income tax return?
Essentially, you are required to file an income tax return if:
- You owe tax for the year in question.
- You realized a taxable capital gain or disposed of a capital asset during the year.
- You are a non-resident and you disposed of a taxable Canadian property (for example, a property located in Canada, whether or not you made a capital gain).
Please note that when you file your income tax return, you will benefit from the assistance programs, tax deductions and tax benefits that you’re entitled to.
