Everyone, here is the detailed report. All foreign nationals buying in ontario have to pay 15% sale tax except refugees and skill workers. International students who will get pr in 4 years will get rebate after they become permanent The Sellers have to disclose in writing about Assignment sale and there will be a land transfer tax on that. Plus CRA will watch those sales. There will be new laws and fines for those realtors who indulge in fake biddings. New laws will be implemented for those who will do double ends. • A 15 per cent tax on home purchases by non-resident foreigners in Toronto and the Greater Golden Horseshoe. Wynne said the new tax will not apply to new immigrants who plan to live here but speculators who will "never set foot in Ontario." • Expanding the province's existing rent control system to cover all tenants, including those in buildings built after 1991. • A rebate of development cost charges to encourage building of more rental housing. • A standardized lease document for all tenants. • A ban on flipping of pre-construction units by speculators. • A review of the rules governing the conduct of real estate agents. • New powers for Toronto and other municipalities to introduce a tax on vacant homes to encourage owners to sell or rent unoccupied units. • A move to identify provincially owned surplus lands that could be used for affordable and rental housing development. • A $125-million, five-year program to encourage the construction of new purpose-built rental apartment buildings by rebating a portion of development charges.
