2026 rates. Duties are calculated on the higher of the price paid and the adjusted municipal value, and exemptions may apply. Quebec's refundable first-time buyer tax credit covers purchases made since January 1, 2026, if neither you nor your spouse lived in a home you owned in the year of the purchase or the four previous years. You claim it from Revenu Québec.
