有媒体报导,部分海外买主将所买房产置于企业或亲戚名下,以规避物业交易税(property transfer tax),省府将研议对策,严管此一逃漏税行为。另一方面,在联邦层级对海外税务及资本利得等的查缉,则显得脚步蹒跚。 《环球邮报》日前专文报导,不少海外买家以亲友、子女之名来加置产的现象,并以温哥华房地市场为报导主击,指出在以华人为主要海外投资买主的温哥华房地市场中,有三分之一的高端房产海外买主,将房产登记在他人名下,除少缴物业交易税外,也刻意隐藏身分,躲避税务追查。 在卑省,企业信讬人之间物业的转让,不算改变拥有权,也就规避了交易税,安省已经防堵该漏洞,卑省财政厅长麦德庄(Mike de Jong)则回应说,省府将在下一个预算年度跟进这一作法,并可能同时对最高端的豪宅增税,借以对低端买主提供税负减免。 ‧海外投资客钻洞避税 非常普遍 移民律师海曼(Sam Hyman)以第一手经验指述这种避税情况非常普遍。他说,加国以不积极追查逃漏税及防范洗钱着称,海外富人闻风而来,钻漏洞逃税。 环球邮报在检视过200宗离婚或其他争议官司后,发现有些来自海外的物业业主住的是「亲戚」所拥有价值数百万的豪宅,却告诉庭上他的年收入不到3万元。 这些人当中有些是非税务居民,因此仅需申报加国境内的所得,但这一部分收入很少或根本没有,但他们海外的财富则「赠与」他们年长的父母或年幼的子女买豪宅,除了享受房税优惠,在卖房时又因自住而免课资本利得税。 ‧国税局查税 自断手脚 国税署回应环球邮报对海外买主逃漏房产相关税务的询问,说「多宗案件正在调查」,但联邦税务稽查员工会则指该署事实上已「自断手脚」。 工会方面指出,最近才有262名稽查从国际部门转调国内稽查部门。工会代表毕特曼(Shannon Bittman)说,这些稽查员经多年训练,完全有能力决定这一类人的税务身分及义务。 一位前税务稽查员说,加拿大与中国的税务协定已经过时,不只无法查证这些买家在中国的所得,即使要在加国国内查他们的帐户都变得困难而无效率。 国税局回应上述批评表示,国税局已采取多种手段防止逃漏,防范海外税务严重违犯事件,对违法情事,决不宽容。 图片取自 Wolf of Wall Street
