Departure tax (deemed disposition)
What this is
What will leaving Canada cost you in exit tax?
When you stop being a Canadian tax resident, the CRA treats you as having sold most of your worldwide property at fair market value. Estimate that deemed-disposition tax before you go.
- ·Deemed disposition: leaving Canada triggers a paper sale of most property at fair market value on your departure date.
- ·Exempt: Canadian real estate and registered accounts (RRSP, RRIF, TFSA, RESP, FHSA, pensions) are not deemed disposed.
- ·Net capital gains are 50% included (the proposed 66.67% hike was cancelled in March 2025), then taxed at your marginal rate.
- ·Province presets are top combined marginal rates, so they overstate tax on modest gains. Override with your actual marginal rate.
