QDoes the new federal Underused Housing Tax (UHT) apply to Canadian owners?

UHT is a tax on ownership of vacant or underused housing which took effect January 1, 2022. The rate of tax is 1% of the taxable value of the property It usually applies to non-resident, non-Canadian owners but does extend to Canadian owners as well in certain circumstances If you are an“affected owner”on December 31 of any given tax year, you must file an Underused Housing Tax return or risk a penalty The filing deadline for the 2022 year is April 30th, 2023. If you are a Canadian citizen, you are an“affected owner”if you own property as a trustee of a trust or as a partner of a partnership Private corporations are also defined as“affected owners”

Even if you are an“affected owner”, your property may be exempt from UHT Exemptions include certain types of affected owners, and properties that are newly constructed, not suitable to be lived in year-round uninhabitable for renovations, a defined vacation property, and in certain situations, the primary place of residence for you or your spouse

Digital Strategy

What is Sponsored Content?

Sponsored Content is a brand-sponsored article that lives on a media publisher s website It looks and reads like the publications own content but is, in fact, a paid advertisement It positions the brand as an expert by delivering interesting content that is relevant to a publisher s audience

As we move further down the digital road, it s important to connect with your audience online Not merely advertise products and services spark interest, answer questions, educate readers with valuable information. One example of this would be for a Realtor to sponsor an article on“How to turn your Basement Suite into a Rental Unit?”A Travel Agency could talk about“5 Best Trips to Cure the Winter Blues!”Maybe a Yoga Studio discusses“The Health Benefits of Maintaining a Good Work-Life Balance?”The general idea is to provide your audience with helpful interesting, even must read articles sponsored by your business of course! It’s a softer, but more memorable sell presented in a journalistic style Sponsored Content builds brand trust & credibility, when used effectively can drive online traffic and engagement by leaps and bounds!!

How do you know when it’s time to reline dentures?

If the dentures no longer fit as well as they once did, you may need to have a procedure done to refit the base of the denture, called a “reline”

Check with your Denturist to see if your dentures can be relined It is best not to reline your dentures with overthe-counter reline kits This procedure, which can be done by your Denturist, will enable your dentures to have a tighter, better fit A new impression will be taken to ensure the proper landmark and a new base will be cured to the underside of your existing denture
