1031 or similar in Canada?

Hi guys,

I'm struggling to find information on a scheme similar to 1031 exchange for Canadian investing... Could this be due to something similar not existing? Or am I missing something in my research? 

Many thanks in advance,

Phil.

From what I have heard and researched myself there is nothing similar in Canada unfortunately. Maybe someone on BP has any other news (hopefully good) regarding this issue.

    There is no Canadian tax equivalent to the 1031 exchange found in the U.S.A.

    Canada does nothing for investors except allow the lower DP for owner occupied multi units.

    We have a extremely conservative banking system here which is the primary reason we have been so stable in the past. 2008 was a minor blip on the landscape for that reason.

    yes, unfortunate but true!  That being said.....at least you get your capital gains tax bill out of the way up front!

     Or parcel it out over five years in the anticipation your overall taxes paid will be less.
