Renting out your cottage on social media or via a digital accommodation platform

You rent out your cottage on social media or via a digital accommodation platform.

You probably have tax obligations, since amounts received for business activities conducted through a digital platform may be considered income. 

End of note

Your obligations

Generally speaking, you have to report your income from the rental of an accommodation unit.

You must also check whether you are required to register for the GST and QST.

For more on your obligations, refer to the following:

  • Individuals and Rental Income (IN-100-V)
  • Income and Expenses Respecting the Rental of Immovable Property (TP-128-V)
Important

Under new QST rules, digital accommodation platform operators must collect the QST with respect to short-term accommodation provided by persons that are not registered for the QST.
