First Time Home Buyers Ontario Land Transfer Tax Credit (up to $2000)

The Land Transfer Tax Credit is a refund of the cost of the provinces land transfer tax up to a maximum of $2,000. This will allow first time home buyers to purchase a home up to $227,500 without having to pay any land transfer fee. Any amount higher than $227,500 is taxed a rate of approximately 1.5%. To qualify the property must be owner occupied. The first time home purchaser may claim the full maximum amount or a proportion of the maximum refund amount. To qualify for the Land Transfer Tax Credit, an individual, their spouse or common law partner must not have not owned a home in the previous 5 years. The refund can be given instantly at the lawyers office but advise the lawyer prior to the closing date if you qualify for the rebate.

Rebate Examples
Cost Of Home	Tax Payable	Tax Rebate
$100,000	$725	$725
$200,000	$1,725	$1,725
$300,000	$2,975	$2,000

The refund amount is reduced when one or more of the transferees are not a first time home buyer. The reduction will be proportionate to the interest in land acquired by the individuals who are not first time home purchasers. For example, a parent who is not a first time home buyer and child who is a first time home purchaser, purchase a home with equal 50/50 interests, the child may claim 50% of the land transfer tax refund. The child’s claim cannot exceed 50% of the maximum allowable refund, i.e., 50% of $2,000
