buyer information: Harmonization or Tax Grab?
- 05/11/09 02:18 PM
The Dalton McGinty government has introduced legislation to implement the harmonization of the Federal Goods and Services Tax (GST) with the Provincial Sales Tax (PST) in 2010. So instead of seeing a 5% GST and an 8% PST on whatever you buy, you will see a combined tax of 13% HST. Sounds harmless...........right? Except some goods and services are now exempt from the 8% Provincial Sales Tax. At present, real estate commissions are not subject to the 8% PST. Neither are home inspections, home and condo appraisals or lawyers fees. All of these will become taxable at the Provincial level in … (0 comments)

The first big oil price shock happened in 1973-4 and people lined up around the block to gas up their cars. A recession quickly followed. The … (2 comments)
buyer information: Toronto Real Estate Sales Killed By Land Transfer Tax
- 02/26/09 05:47 AM
Perhaps "killed" is an exaggeration but the patient has been severely wounded. In February 2008 the City of Toronto introduced a Land Transfer Tax payable on all Toronto Real Estate sales. This is in addition to the already punishing Provincial Land Transfer Tax. The result has been a crippling effect on Toronto house and condominium sales as well as lowering average prices. Recent Study A recent study entitled "Sand in the Gears - Evaluating the Effects of Toronto's Land Transfer Tax" says that the Toronto land transfer tax is responsible for a 16% drop in the number of single family homes … (1 comments)
