Underused Housing Tax:
The Underused Housing Tax (UHT) is an annual federal 1% tax on the ownership of vacant or underused housing in Canada that took effect on January 1, 2022. The UHT generally applies to foreign national owners of housing in Canada. However, in some situations, the UHT also applies to some Canadian owners (such as certain partners, trustees, and corporations).
