“Would a capital-gains tax on all home sales in the city, the province or even nationwide be a draconian response to these issues? The lack of such a tax is a major gap in the country’s tax system, since all other incomes from business and investment (outside of registered plans) are taxable. This omission distorts the economy’s savings toward excessive housing investment and away from productive business investment.
The lack of tax on home gains is also inequitable in its treatment of renters versus homeowners with similar wealth. Many people have made hundreds of thousands, others millions, in tax-free gains on homes in recent years based purely on good fortune. At the same time, others making far less through their labour are fully taxable on their earnings.
The design for a capital-gains tax on home sales could follow several principles. Gains accrued prior to the legislation’s effective date would not be taxed; most would deem it inequitable to impose ex post taxation. However, if applied at appropriate rates, such a tax would powerfully dampen speculative psychology and thus housing demand.
The tax rate on gains should be set very high – even above 50 per cent – for homes owned two years or less. The rate should decline incrementally over the next 10 years of ownership, perhaps reaching a rate of 20 per cent or lower after 12 years. ”
