Land transfer tax
Ontario charges land transfer tax on every residential purchase. Inside the City of Toronto there is a second, municipal tax on top of it. Everywhere else in the GTA — Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Markham — there is only the provincial one.
First-time buyer? Ontario and Toronto both offer a rebate that reduces this figure, and the amounts change. This calculator does not apply them, because a rebate cap shown from memory is worse than no number at all. Call me and I will give you the current amounts with the source.
This is an estimate of the land transfer tax alone. Your total closing costs also include legal fees, title insurance, an adjustment for prepaid property tax, and in some cases a mortgage insurance premium. It is not financial, tax, or legal advice, and it does not account for exemptions that may apply to your situation. Confirm the figure with your real estate lawyer before you rely on it.
