The recent federal budget announcement indicates a notable adjustment to the capital gains inclusion rate, which has increased from 50% to 66.6%. This change could significantly affect financial planning, particularly regarding the sale of principal residences and secondary properties.

One potential strategy involves selling your principal residence to avoid future capital gains increases on a family cottage, thereby keeping it within the family for future generations. Upon selling your home, you can designate your cottage as your principal residence starting in the year your home is sold. It is advisable to consult with a financial advisor or tax accountant for personalized advice on this matter.

Financial Advisors, Doug and Graham from Rideau Wealth Group - Scotia Wealth Management, shared actionable insights on these crucial changes with Lépine's community.

Exploring New Living Arrangements Rather than relocating to your cottage after selling your house, consider the option of leasing a new, amenity-rich apartment.
