How to avoid land transfer tax in Ontario?

This is not a click bait, and most people in most cases will HAVE TO pay land transfer tax.

However, there are a few exceptions where you do not have to, for example: 

Some land transfers between spouses;

Some land transfers from an individual to their own family business corporation;

Some transfers of farmland between family members;

Some transfers of a life lease from a non-profit or charity.

Getting the First Time Home Buyer Rebate is the most obvious, and the rest needs to be executed with caution.
