Land Transfer Tax Calculator: An Overview

Land Transfer Tax is a mandatory fee applied to every transfer of land that is either registered or involves an unregistered transfer of beneficial interest in land, unless explicitly exempted under the relevant legislation. The definition of “land” as per subsection 1(1) of the governing Act is comprehensive, encompassing not only physical land but also buildings, structures (including those planned for construction), fixtures, and any interest in these assets.

The tax is calculated based on the “value of the consideration,” which is broadly defined in the Act. This value includes the purchase price, any liabilities assumed by the buyer, benefits received, soft costs, and the cost of any upgrades. In some cases, the value is deemed to be the fair market value of the land, such as with leases exceeding fifty years or specific transfers between corporations and shareholders. This concise summary of Land Transfer Tax provides a foundation for understanding its implications and ensures compliance with Ontario’s legal requirements.

This calculator does NOT address the Non-Resident Speculation Tax (NRST). Effective October 25, 2022, the Non-Resident Speculation Tax (NRST) rate was increased to 25 per cent. The NRST applies on the purchase or acquisition of an interest in residential property located anywhere in Ontario by individuals who are foreign nationals (individuals who are not Canadian citizens or permanent residents of Canada) or by foreign corporations or taxable trustees. The NRST applies in addition to the general Land Transfer Tax in Ontario.
