Sales and Transfers of Farm Land: Be Careful with the Details
When a farmer decides it is time either to sell farm land or to transfer it to a child, the <em>Income Tax Act</em> can be a powerful ally. Sheltering a sale of farm land by using the capital gains exemption or the inter-generational rollover of farm land to a child can help the taxpayer move the land on a tax-deferred or tax-free basis. It is important, however, to be aware of all the rules associated with these strategies, as small details within the <em>Income Tax Act</em> can cause undesired consequences.
