GIFT TO NON WORKING SPOUSE

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

If you gift an apartment to your non-working spouse, you generally don't declare it in your own tax return. However, your spouse should declare it as an exempted gift in their return. Be aware that under Section 27 of the Income Tax Act, you may be considered the deemed owner, meaning any income generated from the property will be added to your income for tax purposes.
