Frequently Asked Questions

The Non-Resident Speculation Tax is a 25% tax on property purchases in certain Ontario regions by foreign nationals, foreign corporations, and taxable trustees. Rebates may be available in certain circumstances.

You may qualify if you paid NRST and later became a permanent resident or citizen, or if you're an international student or foreign worker meeting specific criteria. Time limits apply.

Capital gains equals your sale price minus your original purchase price and eligible expenses. Currently, 50% of the gain is taxable at your marginal rate. Rules vary for different situations.

If the property was your principal residence for every year you owned it, the gain is typically exempt. However, you must still report the sale. Rules get complex with multiple properties.

Rental properties don't qualify for the principal residence exemption. When sold, capital gains tax applies to the profit. Proper record-keeping during ownership is essential.

Ontario LTT is calculated on a tiered system based on purchase price. Toronto adds a municipal LTT of similar amount. We provide precise calculations for your transaction.

First-time home buyers in Ontario may receive a rebate of up to $4,000 on provincial LTT. Toronto offers an additional rebate up to $4,475. Qualification rules apply.

Ideally, before a transaction closes. Advance planning offers more options. However, we can still help with rebate applications and compliance matters after closing.
