Droits de Mutation Gatineau 2024 — Welcome Tax Calculator

Gatineau buyers pay provincial Quebec droits de mutation — no municipal surtax applies. As Gatineau sits across from Ottawa, many buyers compare Quebec droits with Ontario's land transfer tax. This page helps you understand both.

⚠️ Quebec has NO first-time buyer rebate on droits de mutation.
Unlike Ontario (up to $4,000 rebate) or some other provinces, Quebec offers zero provincial refund on the welcome tax for first-time buyers. Every buyer pays the full amount — plan accordingly.
