Foreign Buyer Tax Surprise - Toronto

Yes! Welcome to Canada!

Welcome to the Toronto GTA 

Glad you would like to put down roots; raise a family, build a life here with us.  Effective April 2017;


You are subject to a Foreign Buyers Tax of 15% in Ontario... 

You must pay this tax if;


foreign national, as defined in the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (Canada), is an individual who is not a Canadian citizen or permanent resident of Canada.
permanent resident means a person who has acquired permanent resident status and has not subsequently lost that status under section 46 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (Canada).

There are a few exceptions by type of property, residential vs commercial and marital status.

Non - Resident Speculation Tax.

Do you really want to be a landlord ???

Why would anyone ever want to be a landlord? Not only will you be subsidizing the person who leases your place (since it costs you more to own than you are receiving monthly), but you’re now obligated to look after this human. Yeah, just like a beagle. The heat and water have to work. The appliances, too. No safety issues. No outstanding repairs. Functioning toilets. And a tough time getting rid of someone, even if they don’t pay the rent. All so you can lose money? Huh?

I still believe in long term investment in real estate to build equity.   This is a ten and 15 year plan; not 9 months.
