Notes


1 The property is jointly owned by husband and wife, but then taxed separately (50% upon each partner). Exchange rate used: 1 USD = 10.999933 MXN.

2 For tax purposes, individuals renting a property have the option to deduct either the standard costs (35% of gross income) or actually incurred income-generating expenses. The deduction of standard costs was utilized in this computation.

3 Residential property tax is calculated as a percentage of the assessed value of the property. The residential (single-unit) rate for Toronto is 0.8528434% for 2007.

4 Estimated values. If the deduction of standard costs (also known as “blind deduction”) was taken, no other costs are deductible except for real estate tax.

5 Income tax liability is reduced by subsidies.
