CRA describes what a s. 115(5) remittance letter should disclose

There is no prescribed form for the purchaser’s making of a s. 116(5) or (5.3) remittance where the non-resident vendor has failed to file a T2062. The remittance letter should state:

  • the purchaser’s full name and address
  • the non-resident vendor’s name
  • the non-resident vendor’s address (if available)
  • a description of the property (as much detail as possible)
  • the date of the acquisition
  • a copy of the purchase agreement and/or other documents, such as the Statement of Adjustments, to support the purchase price.
