The Coalition Against New-Home Taxes (or CANT) is a group of home builders, led by Matt Young of Republic Developments , who are asking all levels of government in Canada to lower the taxes on new homes. In some cities, these taxes -- which include everything from development charges to HST -- can account for up to 30% of the cost of a new home. This is bad for housing affordability and runs counter to our publicly stated goals. So to drive this point home, the group created a cheeky game called Taxopoly: The Unwinnable Game of Canadian Homeownership . (Credit to Blackjet for the idea and design.) I don't think that the average buyer understands what kind of taxes are being levied on new homes, and so kudos to CANT for being a loud advocate for positive change.
