The Government of Ontario, Canada, announced that starting from October 25, the non-resident speculation tax for foreign homebuyers will be increased from 20% to 25%. This means that Ontario becomes the province with the highest tax rate for this category in Canada.
The foreign buyer tax is a tax rate that foreign buyers (non-Canadian residents), foreign companies, and taxable trustees must bear when purchasing property in Ontario. In March of this year, the Ontario government raised this tax rate from 15%, set in 2017, to 20%, expanding its scope from southern Ontario to cover the entire province. Now, just seven months later, the tax has been increased again, demonstrating the government's determination to crack down on foreign buyers. The tax rate has now risen to 25%, which is a 10% increase compared to the beginning of this year. This policy will affect many non-residents planning to purchase homes, such as international students.
Moreover, according to the "Prohibition on Non-Canadians Purchasing Residential Property Act" enacted in Canada on June 23, 2022: starting from January 1, 2023, non-Canadians will not be able to purchase residential real estate in Canada, with the ban lasting for two years. This is indeed a very strict home-buying restriction policy! However, this act does not affect Canadians and permanent residents (there may be exemptions for certain groups, types of residential properties, and special circumstances).
With the introduction and implementation of these policies, it will become increasingly difficult for non-Canadian residents to purchase homes. Therefore, for investors looking to invest in Canadian real estate, it is advisable to obtain legal Canadian status as soon as possible.
