    Explain Capital gains on a home in ontario Canada

    About 20years ago I purchased a home in extremly poor condition.  Over the years I rebuilt it to now it is a very nice cottage on a lake in Ontario.  When I purchased this property I had to pay an additional 20% since I was not a resident.  This non resident tax no longer exhists.  Several thousands of dollars went into the upgrade.  Some work was done by a contractor but most was done by family.  Due to my age I find it necessary to sell

    The property is worth a lot more today than it was when you purchased especially with the upgrades.  Capital gains tax is the taxes you will have to pay within a certain period of time once you sell the property for a profit.  If you reinvest in another property you can avoid this tax.
