land transfer tax
On the closing date, the Buyer is responsible for paying a land transfer tax to the government. Some of this money goes toward administering the land registry office. It is based on a percentage of the sale price, and the percentage increases as the price of the property goes up. (Note: Toronto adds its own municipal land transfer tax, so Buyers in Toronto must pay twice.)
