Effective October 25, 2022, the Non-Resident Speculation Tax (NRST) rate was increased to 25 per cent. The NRST applies on the purchase or acquisition of an interest in residential property located anywhere in Ontario by individuals who are foreign nationals (individuals who are not Canadian citizens or permanent residents of Canada) or by foreign corporations or taxable trustees.

The NRST applies in addition to the general Land Transfer Tax (LTT) in Ontario.

From March 30, 2022 to October 24, 2022, (inclusive) the NRST rate was 20 per cent applied on the purchase or acquisition of an interest in residential property located anywhere in Ontario by individuals who are foreign nationals or by foreign corporations or taxable trustees.

Prior to March 30, 2022, the NRST was a 15 per cent tax on the purchase of an interest in residential property in the Greater Golden Horseshoe Region (GGH) of Ontario by individuals who are foreign nationals or by foreign corporations or taxable trustees.

For a conveyance after March 29, 2022, only the Permanent Resident NRST Rebate remains available. Note that any applicable NRST is payable at the time of the registration of a conveyance. Registrants who fail to pay NRST at registration may be assessed for tax, penalty, and interest, even if subsequently eligible for a rebate.

Applications for the rebate must be received by the ministry within 90 days of becoming a permanent resident of Canada.

Proof of permanent resident status can include:
