On October 1st, 2020, the Provincial government brought forward Ontario’s new rules for forming Personal Real Estate Corporations (“PRECs”). PRECs allow REALTORS® to access the business advantages of incorporation, including tax and income planning benefits.
OREA has created this website and the materials on it to support Members who are interested in forming a PREC. Please review the materials (below) and reach out to a member of our team if you have any questions:
IMPORTANT: To decide if forming a PREC is the right choice for you and your business, OREA encourages you to seek advice from your lawyer, accountant, and financial advisor.
