Underused Housing Tax Return and Election Form
 
Use this return if, on December 31 of a calendar year (starting with the 2023 calendar year), you are an owner of a
residential property and not an excluded owner of the residential property, as set out in subsection 7(1) of the
Underused Housing Tax Act (UHTA).
Do not use this area
   
For purposes of Underused Housing Tax (UHT), residential property is property situated in Canada subject to certain
requirements under the UHTA. For more information, see the definition of residential property in the Additional
Information
section at the end of this return.
 
   
You must file an annual return with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) on or before April 30 for each residential
property that you own on December 31 of the preceding calendar year. If you do not already have a Canadian tax
identification number (such as a social insurance number, individual tax number, or business number), contact the CRA
before filing this return.
 
   
A corporation or an individual can file this return in their own capacity, or in their capacity as a partner of a partnership or
a trustee of a trust. However, if you are an owner of the residential property in your capacity as a trustee of a trust that is
a mutual fund trust, a real estate investment trust, or a specified investment flow-through trust for Canadian income tax
purposes, you are an excluded owner of the residential property and you do not need to file a return for that property.
 
   
If you have a foreign address or need to indicate your citizenship in Part 1, use a standardized country code to indicate your
country by entering the appropriate three-letter code. For more information, go to iso.org/iso-3166-country-codes.html.
