How to calculate land transfer tax
Buying a home is an exciting process with many unexpected costs. Beyond your down payment, you’ll also be responsible for paying legal fees, appraisal costs, title transfer costs and taxes to the province or municipality (or both).
That last item is called a land transfer tax (LTT), and it applies everywhere except in Alberta, Saskatchewan and all three territories, which instead charge land transfer fees. Despite the differences in terminology, the idea is the same: The buyer pays a one-time fee to the local government whenever a property changes hands. Below, you will find detailed information on land transfer taxes, fees and rebates:
