Toronto New Tax

Details of Approved Toronto Land Transfer Tax: Toronto City Council has approved a municipal land transfer tax that will be levied on top of the provincial land transfer tax. TREB worked very hard to oppose this tax and commends the efforts of REALTORS® on this issue. TREB took a strong position to oppose this tax as unfair in principle and refused to compromise. As a direct result of this strong position, City Council was forced to make a number of amendments to the City’s original proposal, including rebates for first-time buyers, a reduced rate, and grandfathering for existing transactions. The City has not yet provided detailed information on administration or implementation issues. The following is based on currently available information. Some information from the City is available more.
