CRA has provided some guidance
It’s clear that all the income a taxpayer receives from an accommodation-sharing arrangement is subject to income tax, but the CRA may consider it to be either rental income from property or self-employment business income. The type of income affects how it should be reported on a tax return, which has consequences for registered retirement savings plan room , among other things.Article content
On the other hand, the income may be considered self-employment business income if the taxpayer provides other services to tenants such as meals, security and cleaning. As the CRA notes, “the more services you offer, the greater the chance that income from your rental operation is considered business income.”
The CRA, however, was only prepared to allow a $60 housekeeping charge per rental, which was the amount indicated on a number of the Airbnb invoices submitted by the taxpayers, which ranged from $0 to $60. The CRA said taxpayers are permitted to engage in prospective tax planning, but “one cannot simply go back and reclassify rental income after the fact in order to qualify for the CRB.”
