Summary of Proposal:
UPDATE: The deadline for feedback on the Ministry of Finance's consultation document has been extended. Submissions must be received on or before September 8, 2017.
The Ministry of Finance is reviewing the land transfer tax (LTT) on unregistered dispositions of beneficial interests in land in order to improve administrative effectiveness and enforcement, and to ensure the integrity and equity of the LTT system. The review will be conducted in two phases.
In Phase One, the Ministry is considering recommending amendments to the Land Transfer Tax Act (Act) and the regulations under the Act to facilitate the payment and administration of the LTT under section 3 in certain circumstances.
Phase Two will involve a broader review of the application of LTT in the modern real estate context, in order to ensure fairness and revenue integrity. Details on Phase Two will be announced at a future date.
At this time, the Ministry is initiating consultations on Phase One by posting the document below, entitled "Facilitating the Payment and Administration of the Land Transfer Tax Under Section 3 of the Land Transfer Tax Act".
The Phase One consultation document below is being posted for a public review and comment period starting on July 14, 2017.
