Toronto’s Land Transfer Tax: Coming to a Neighbourhood Near You.

As Toronto’s nightmare continues, Ontario’s is just beginning. The provincial government is ready to give municipalities the right to levy new municipal land transfer taxes in their own jurisdictions – potentially doubling the tax currently paid when a property is purchased.

If introduced province-wide, the effect will be dramatic: the tax on a home purchased for $400,000, for example, will jump from $4,475 to $8,950. That’s the highest land transfer tax in North America, and soon you’ll be paying it too.

When affordability hangs in the balance, another new tax will be a tipping point for many. Take action and make your move now. Say NO to the tax at www.donttaxmydream.ca
