Land Transfer Tax Calculator
Looking to calculate your land transfer tax in Yukon Territory? Before you finalize your home purchase, you’ll want to ensure that you’ve put enough money aside to cover items associated with closing the deal.
Land transfer tax (LTT) is one of the largest fees associated with the closing of your home, often overlooked when calculating your total purchase amount. There may be several fees and closing costs related to transferring the property from seller to buyer. It would be best if you prepared to avoid any unpleasant surprises.
Most provinces, as well as the territories, charge land transfer taxes or fees which homebuyers will pay. But, in Yukon Territory, buyers pay a less costly fee known as a land titles fee.
