One

Priced per property, because that is how it is reported

A rental property return starts at $450. An individual T1 with no rental starts at $65, and a return with investment or capital gains also starts at $450. Where several properties are held, the price reflects how many schedules are prepared rather than a flat uplift.

What matters more than the yearly fee is the record kept across years. What was claimed against each property, how the purchase and improvements were treated, and whether costs were current or capital all follow the property to the year it is sold.

Two

What the fee covers

A schedule per property

Income and expenses kept per property rather than pooled, so each stands on its own.

A record that carries

What was claimed and when, held year to year so the position is known at sale.

Personal or corporate

Reported on the T1 or through the corporation, depending on how title is held.

Three

How the work begins

  1. Step 1: Tell us what you hold

    How many properties, how owned, and when acquired.

  2. Step 2: Priced per property

    Confirmed before the work begins.

  3. Step 3: Ready before you sell

    History kept so a sale does not mean reconstructing years of records.

Four

How much does a rental property tax return cost?

At HBT Accounting a rental property return starts at $450 and an individual T1 at $65, plus GST or HST where it applies. The figure depends on the number of properties, since each is reported on its own schedule, and on whether the properties are held personally or in a corporation. A corporate year end with the T2 starts at $2,500.
