CRA will process a late-filed notification under s. 116(3) as long as it is complete and received on or before the due date of the non-resident vendor's Part I return
2 July 2025 - 11:59pm
The non-resident beneficiary of an estate does not file a Form T2062 notice respecting the disposition (occurring on a distribution) of a portion of their capital interest in an estate that is taxable Canadian property and not excluded property, and the estate does not file a notice under s.116(5.02).
CRA indicated:
- No late notification by the purchaser (considered here to be the estate) is allowed under s. 116(5.02).
- If the purchaser does not file the s. 116(5.02) notice within the required 30 days, then the non-resident vendor is required to file the s. 116(3) notice because the excluded property exemption is not available.
- Administratively, CRA will process a late-filed notification under s. 116(3) as long as it is complete and received on or before the due date of the non-resident vendor's Part I income tax return for the taxation year during which the disposition occurred. When the CRA has verified the information provided in the notice, the CRA will issue a certificate of compliance to the non-resident vendor with a copy to the purchaser. The issuance of the certificate of compliance will relieve the purchaser of their obligation even though the notification was late.
