I own a quarter-share in Whistler, do I pay Underused Housing Tax (UHT)? Yes! The quarter-share property has one freehold title, which is divided into four shares termed sub-leases. The non-resident owner of each quarter-share must use the property for 28 days to avoid paying a penalty.
Now this is where it gets interesting. Should one of the owners buy out one or more of the other three sub-lease owners in the same title or deed, the UHT requirement for that person stays at 28 days. For example, 101 A, B,C, and D, the owner of Unit 101 A and B is now the same non-resident. But, only 28 days of usage is required not 2 x 28.
