” Liberal Leader Dominique Anglade promised Thursday to abolish the welcome tax for first-time homebuyers to help them cope with the dramatic rise in house prices.
” The Liberal Party first presented the proposals on the welcome tax and Home Buyers’ Plan in April. The welcome tax — also known as land transfer duties — normally goes to municipalities where properties are purchased. The party proposes to compensate them for the loss of revenue.”
