Land transfer tax (commonly referred to as Welcome Tax in Quebec) has been revised and the following factors have to be used when calculating this tax.  The new method consists in using a factor that changes for each municipality on the Island of Montreal.  There might be changes in this formula so I would advise you to check with your agent or your notary to make sure you re using the current factor when you buy a house.

Example:  Beaconsfield home sale price - $500,000
               Evaluation - $445,000 x 1.39 = $618.550
               Therefore, the tax will be based on $618.550
