WASHINGTON — A bipartisan group of U.S. lawmakers is urging the State Department to ask that Americans be exempted from Canada's tax on foreign property owners.
The group has written to Secretary of State Antony Blinken to complain that Ottawa is unfairly punishing U.S. citizens who own vacation properties north of the border.
They want Blinken to formally register U.S. opposition to the measure and to work towards winning an exemption for Americans with seasonal properties. "We request that you work with your counterparts in the government of Canada to find a solution to exempt Americans from this tax." "The underused housing tax is an insulting and unjustified attack on these Americans who use these properties not as a prospective investment but as a second home," Higgins said in a statement.
