Why Registry Costs Catch Buyers Off Guard

Stamp duty, CVT and withholding tax are charged on top of the sale price, and the withholding tax rate roughly doubles for non-filers under sections 236C and 236K. On a large transaction that difference is significant - often worth more than the cost of sorting out your ATL status before you register the sale.

Filer Status Changes the Number
