Ontario & Toronto Land Transfer Tax Calculator
Thanks to the Toronto City Council, anyone buying a house, condo or loft after
December 31, 2007 or closing after February 28, 2008 will have to pay a 2nd
land transfer tax. Remember this next municipal election!
The Ontario Land Transfer Tax is charged by the province when ownership
of property is changed. It is normally paid by the purchaser when property is
bought. It applies everywhere in the province.
But now anyone buying the city of Toronto has to pay twice. We have included
this new tax here, so that you can see just how much the city is gouging you.
Currently, the land transfer tax in ONTARIO is as follows:
0.5% - on the first $55,000
1.0% - on portion between $55,000 - $250,000
1.5% - on balance over $250,000
2.0% - on anything over $400,000
First time buyers get a $2,000 rebate
And the new land transfer tax in TORONTO is as follows:
0.5% - on the first $55,000
1.0% - on portion between $55,000 - $400,000
2.0% - on anything over $400,000
First time buyers are exempt on the first $400,000
This calculator is for ONTARIO and TORONTO only.
Other cities and provinces have differing rules and rates.
You should always check with your lawyer whenever you are considering any
changes to title of real estate property (including adding spouses or children).
