For example, an “interspousal” transfer of land between spouses or common-law partners in typically exempt from Land Transfer Tax, however, a minimum registration charge will be applicable. The sale of farmland to another farmer (as defined by the applicable legislation), who will use the land for farming is also usually exempt from Land Transfer Tax. Land Transfer Tax is calculated based on the fair market value of the property (usually the purchase price) and the percentage used by the provincial government to calculate Land Transfer Tax differs based on the value of the home. The Land Transfer Tax calculations charged by the provincial government are subject to change.
