Property tax deductions and CGT implications?

Posted 17 November 2013

If Property A was purchased in 2000 and used as primary residence up until 2012, then rented out for a year (due to work relocation to another province) and property then sold with a capital gain?

If property A above was re-bonded[currently settled], can the bond interest be deducted against its rental income or will bond finance interest on a 2nd property, to be used as primary residence, be allowed to be deducted against Property A's rental income?

You would need to apportion the primary residence exclusion in the ration of 12/13. Bond interest can only be deducted against the income it is used to generate.
