Newfoundland land transfer tax example calculation
Let’s assume you are purchasing a house worth $500,000 with a 20% down payment resulting in a $400,000 mortgage.
1. Land transfer tax on the property value
- ( $500,000 property value - $500 lower tax bracket )
÷ $100 tax portion size
= 4995 portions of value up to $100 (round up) - $100 base value
+ ( $0 tax per $100 portion × 4995 portions of value up to $100 )
= $2,098 land transfer tax on property value
2. Land transfer tax on the mortgage amount
- ( $400,000 mortgage amount - $500 lower tax bracket )
÷ $100 tax portion size
= 3995 portions of value up to $100 (round up) - $100 base value
+ ( $0 tax per $100 portion × 3995 portions of value up to $100 )
= $1,698 land transfer tax on property value
