How do I apply for the Land Transfer Tax Rebate?
02.04.2010 | Uncategorized
If you are purchasing a home in Brampton or anywhere in the GTA area, your lawyer will probably complete the appropriate tax statements in the electronic land registration system, and the refund will be deducted automatically from the land transfer tax that would otherwise be payable. If this did not occur, after registration you can apply for the refund by submitting an application to the ministry consisting of the following documentation:
- Completed Land Transfer Tax Refund Affidavit for first-time homebuyers
- Copy of the registered conveyance
- Evidence of the amount of tax paid on registration
- Copy of the Agreement of Purchase and Sale (including all schedules and amendments)
- Copy of the Statement of Adjustments
- Copy of the Tarion new home warranty certificate (if applicable)
