Watch Video and Spread the Word to Oppose Toronto’s Home Buying Tax (Land Transfer Tax). [Video]

Toronto City Council may be debating an initial cut to the Land Transfer Tax SOON.  They need to hear from as many people as possible.

NOW is a critical time to speak out against Toronto’s Home Buying Tax (Land Transfer Tax).

The fight to eliminate Toronto’s unfair Home Buying Tax (Land Transfer Tax) is continuing. This tax hurts people when they can least afford it, like when you move because your family is growing and your household expenses are at their highest, or when your lifestyle changes in retirement and your income is fixed. Even many first-time home buyers, struggling to save a down payment, have to pay this tax.  Toronto City Hall has collected over $300 million MORE than budgeted from this tax since it took effect. That’s not right.

SPEAK OUT NOW! Toronto City Council may be debating an initial cut to the Land Transfer Tax SOON.  They need to hear from as many people as possible.

Why Now?

City Council has begun setting its 2014 Budget and will be debating what to do with the Land Transfer Tax VERY SOON. It is critically important that they hear from as many people as possible to convince them to move forward with phasing out the Land Transfer Tax.

• Other municipalities are considering implementing local land transfer taxes and they are watching what happens in Toronto. 
• Home buyers are being over taxed: Toronto City Hall has collected over $300 million MORE than budgeted from the Land Transfer Tax since it took effect.
