The problem is that the legislation has never passed. After January January, after January decided to decide the Parliament in early January, the Canadian tax bureau (CRA) encouraged taxpayers to continue, as if taxation changes are undergoing a law.
Now, there is a new update. The federal government has delayed the implementation of the change to January 1, 2026. What does this mean for taxpayers.

What is the change of CHealth rateIntersection
Capital income tax rate is the percentage of capital returns contained in taxable income. Since 2000, the interest rate has been half, but the federal budget proposal in 2024 has been raised to two -thirds:
- In a single tax year, individual taxpayers with more than 250,000 US dollars have only more than $ 250,000. Half of the income financing rate will continue to apply to capital income below $ 250,000.
- All capital returns implemented by the company.
- All the capital returns achieved by all trust funds except the Grade interest rate trust (GRE) trust (GRE) and qualified Disadvantage Trust (QDTS). These trusts will be eligible to obtain the same $ 250,000 exemption as individuals.
The new incoming rate rules are postponed until 2026
The change will take effect on June 25, 2024. Therefore, some taxpayers will take action to achieve capital income by using a lower income rate before June 24 (eg, the sale of a hut property). In many cases, this has led to accelerating the capital profit tax that has not been paid.
This extension will obviously disappoint those who act according to the government’s instructions, especially now that even in 2026, it seems unlikely to implement new rules.
There are several reasons. The parliament was ruled until March 24, 2025, although the trade war between Canada and the United States could lead to an early recall, which means that there is no introduction or new legislation.
The election is coming in 2025, and now, conservatives seem to have an advantage. Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre said that if his party wins, he will not continue to increase capital profit tax. Chrystia Freeland is one of the leaders who lead liberals replace Justin Trudeau to participate in the next election. He also said that she will kill tax reform-although she is a finance Minister, she is the Minister of Finance. She initially proposed a budget in the budget and the capital gain changed the tax change.
What about other capital benefits?
The Ministry of Finance confirmed that in the plan, other changes related to capital income are being performed as planned.
