The Ontario government has increased the tax for foreign homebuyers to 20 per cent from 15 per cent and has closed a loophole that allowed foreign students and workers to get a tax rebate on real estate purchases, in an attempt to crack down on speculation in the housing market.
The changes announced Tuesday to Ontario’s non-resident speculation tax take effect on Wednesday and have been expanded to cover all residential properties across the province. Under the previous rules, just the Greater Golden Horseshoe Area, which includes Toronto and other heavily populated regions in Southern Ontario, was covered.
Under the new law, a non-resident speculation tax or NRST rebate is no longer available to international students unless they become permanent residents of Canada within four years after the tax became payable. As well, foreign workers are no longer eligible for the rebate.
