CALCULATIONS DETAILS FOR TRANSFER TAX
For all the municipalities of Québec, except the City of Montréal, Québec and Gatineau (in 2025)
- 0.5% of the portion not exceeding $61,500;
- 1% of the portion exceeding $61,500 but not exceeding $307,800;
- 1.5% of the portion exceeding $307,800.
However, 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 and to consult the official municipality website to confirm the applicable rates. The rate set cannot exceed 3%, except for the City of Montréal.
