How BC Property Transfer Tax is calculated

BC's Property Transfer Tax is charged on a marginal bracket system: 1% on the first $200,000, 2% on the portion between $200,000 and $2,000,000, 3% on the portion between $2,000,000 and $3,000,000, and 5% on anything above $3,000,000. First-Time Home Buyers and buyers of newly built homes may qualify for a full or partial exemption below certain price thresholds. Thresholds and rules are set by the BC government and can change — this calculator is a planning estimate; always confirm exact figures with your notary or lawyer at completion.
