HWLLP » Personal Real Estate Corporations (PRECs) – A tax planning tool for realtors! - HWLLP

If the fast-paced and competitive market wasn’t enough excitement for Ottawa real estate professionals, recent amendments to the Trust in Real Estate Services Act, 2020 (“TRESA”) to permit personal real estate corporations (“PRECs”) have passed after much anticipation. These regulations allow Ontario real estate salespeople and brokers to operate their business through PRECs. Click OREA Press Release for more information directly from OREA regarding this new opportunity.

The benefits of incorporation are unique to the real estate professional’s personal situation. In addition to a host of legal benefits that can address liability concerns, incorporation can translate into significant income tax deferrals, and if used properly, absolute savings.

For more information on how incorporation can enhance your real estate business, please contact our office.

Hendry Warren is a very professional organization who are very sensitive to client needs and timelines. Marie Fraser and all of the staff that I have met and worked with exhibit the same degree of courtesy and professionalism. It is always a pleasure working with them.

Les Bell, (CPA, CA, President, Lincoln Heights Ford Sales Ltd.)

I have used Marie Fraser and her team at Hendry Warren for business, personal and special projects. Deep enough bench strength to cover anything, and small enough to pay attention.

Colin Goodfellow

Jacob has been invaluable over the past 18 months in assisting with the incorporation and start-up of my new business venture. I trust Jacob's advice on complicated income tax and HST matters to allow me to focus on what is most important - my business!

Rupert Bonham-Carter

I found Blair and his staff to be extremely professional providing excellent timely service. As a CPA myself with knowledge of the profession, I was fully satisfied of the extent and quality of the work performed. Staff were fully engaged and the work was completed in a timely fashion as we had a deadline for our AGM. Although the audits went well, Blair made several recommendations to our organization which improved our internal procedures. I have no hesitation in recommending Blair Duffy and the firm of Hendry Warren LLP as we found the services provided to us extremely helpful, professional and competent.
