Welcome Tax Calculation
Welcome Tax Calculator
To calculate the welcome tax amount, you must use the higher value between
the municipal assessment and the purchase price.
The calculation is as follows for the province of Quebec (outside of Montreal):
Outside Montreal
a municipality may, by by-law, determine a rate that is higher than 1.5% for any portion that exceeds $500,000. When selling a building for a sum greater than $500,000, it is therefore important to check with the municipality concerned to see whether it has adopted such a by-law. The rate set cannot exceed 3%, except for the City of Montréal.
