The New Toronto Land Transfer Tax Ripoff!

The City of Toronto as you may or may not know now has doubled the land transfer tax payable on all real estate purchases.

In my view, this is an out and out ripoff. The municipal governments inability to manage their own finances has resulted in this concentrated, unbalanced and unfair tax grab.

The result will inevitably be: The smaller home owner will be driven out of the Toronto home market and property values will increase as a result. Most home purchasers will think twice before buying a new home in Toronto thereby slowing the Toronto Real Estate market down significantly over previous robust years. Millions will be lost to the local economy by all those who make a living off of the transfer of real estate, those being Real Estate Lawyers, Real Estate Agents, Moving companies, Contractors, Support Staff and the list could go on and on!

Way to go Miller and Company! I’m sure you won’t be around long enough to enjoy your reaping!
