Property Transfer Tax Exemptions

 

Starting April 1st, 2024, changes to the First Time Home Buyers (FTHB) exemption in British Columbia affect property purchases differently. For properties valued below $835,000, Property Transfer Tax (PTT) is waived on the first $500,000 of the fair market value (FMV), with PTT payable on the remainder. For instance, if a property's FMV is $700,000, PTT is calculated on $200,000 ($700,000 minus $500,000), saving the purchaser $8,000.

For properties valued between $835,000 and $860,000, a partial exemption applies, with specific details pending confirmation from the BC government.

Properties valued over $860,000 no longer qualify for the FTHB PTT exemption.The fair market value (FMV) threshold required to qualify for the Newly Built Home Exemption will rise from $750,000 to $1,100,000. Properties slightly exceeding this threshold can still benefit from a partial exemption. The phase-out range extends $50,000 beyond the threshold, meaning properties valued at over $1,150,000 will no longer qualify for the Newly Built Home Exemption.

BC Government Budget Affecting Real Estate

 

One of the measures being introduced by the Government aimed at addressing the ongoing housing crisis in British Columbia is the BC Home Flipping Tax.

Starting January 1, 2025, a new tax will be implemented on the sale of residential properties within two years of purchase, targeting speculative real estate practices. This move is expected to contribute to stabilizing housing prices and increasing the availability of affordable homes. Exemptions to the home-flipping tax will be available to people who face unavoidable life changes, including death and divorce, job relocation or loss, and people who are adding to B.C.’s housing supply.
