The group didn\u2019t calculate the value of those sales, though they would be worth about $404 million based on the average purchase by a foreign buyer of $946,945.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">That may just be the tip of the iceberg.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cIt\u2019s a domino effect,\u201d said Elton Ash, Western Canada regional executive vice president for Re\/Max Holdings Inc. Not only will foreign buyers be hit but also Canadians who had contracts to sell and had already put offers on their next house, he said. Morrison said the effects could take years to play out given some deals involve the sales of condos still being built.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Canada\u2019s westernmost province introduced the tax for foreigners as price gains intensified this year. The cost of a detached home in Canada\u2019s third-biggest city soared 38 per cent over 12 months to $1.58 million in July. British Columbia joins governments from the UK to Australia imposing measures to tame markets that have become unaffordable for many local residents. Public support for intervention was building in Vancouver, where anecdotes abound of offshore investors bidding up prices then leaving homes empty. The provincial levy only applies on homes in the Metro Vancouver area, where three-quarters of the foreign money flows.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Legal Challenges<\/strong><br \/>\nRe\/Max is still tallying the fallout of the tax, which took effect Aug 2. At least one $14 million sale in West Vancouver fell through because the levy would\u2019ve added another $2.1 million to the cost, Ash said.<br \/>\nThe measure will hit the lower-end of the market the hardest, such as $500,000 condos, where the cost won\u2019t be so easily absorbed, said Ash. Some sellers will react by cutting prices to salvage deals, he said.<br \/>\nThe province\u2019s move may yet face legal challenges.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>&#8220;Just Shocking&#8221;<\/strong><br \/>\nThe new tax violates several treaties and agreements that Canada holds with at least 28 other countries, including the U.S. under the North American Free Trade Agreement, according to Barry Appleton, managing partner of law firm Appleton &amp; Associates, who specializes in international law and has launched claims in Canada under NAFTA.<br \/>\n\u201cIt\u2019s just shocking that a provincial government in Canada would choose to have a knee-jerk reaction in this way,\u201d Appleton, who has been contacted by several entities but declined to name them, said by phone from San Francisco. Depending on the treaty in place, individuals or the state can sue Canada for losses related to the tax, as well as challenge the tax as discriminatory, he said.<br \/>\nIt\u2019s just shocking that a provincial government in Canada would choose to have a knee-jerk reaction in this way.<br \/>\n\u201cAll legislation is vetted to ensure it complies with the constitution,\u201d said Jessica McLachlin, a spokeswoman for British Columbia\u2019s finance ministry in Victoria. \u201cThe government received opinions on the additional property transfer tax and we believe British Columbia is within its rights to act as it did to protect the residential real estate market from distortions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Legal Precedent<\/strong><br \/>\nFrance may provide a precedent for legal action. Foreign homeowners went to court in 2012 after the nation raised the capital gains tax on overseas investors to as high as 33.5 per cent, arguing discriminatory treatment was illegal under France\u2019s bilateral tax treaties. They were successful, and France reduced the rate to 19 per cent for all sellers, said Miranda Bothe, founder of Paris Property Group.<br \/>\nIn British Columbia, an individual U.S. investor could file a claim under NAFTA, as could residents in 28 other countries that have trade agreements with Canada, Appleton said. Chinese buyers, who comprise the majority of foreign investors in British Columbia according to the finance ministry data, could file individual constitutional challenges under Canada\u2019s Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The Chinese government could also go after the Canadian government, Appleton said.<br \/>\n\u201cThis government has been going around the world telling people that Canada is open to foreign investment, and now they discriminate against those very individuals, and with little warning,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Tax Avoidance<\/strong><br \/>\nIn the ultra-luxury real estate market where homes go into the tens of millions of dollars, at least a dozen buyers and sellers moved the transaction closing date up before the tax came into effect, said Sotheby\u2019s International Realty Canada Chief Executive Officer Brad Henderson.<br \/>\nSotheby\u2019s Canada had about 20 high-end home deals organized the week prior to the tax announcement, and those deals are still proceeding as planned, Henderson said.<br \/>\nA bigger risk than cancelling deals is the possibility that the tax may push some investment into the shadows as investors seek methods around the measure to avoid paying millions, he said.<br \/>\nHenderson\u2019s firm found that the fastest-rising category of luxury homes were in the $4 million-plus space driven by foreign investors, he said by phone Thursday. \u201cPeople are buying homes worth millions and if they have the means to avoid the tax, they\u2019ll take that route.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/business.financialpost.com\/personal-finance\/mortgages-real-estate\/scuttled-property-deals-legal-risks-mount-from-vancouvers-foreign-property-buyer-tax-its-a-domino-effect\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;It\u2019s A Domino Effect&#8221;
