Nova Scotia credit union deposits are protected by the Nova Scotia Credit Union Deposit Insurance Corporation, auto insurance is private, and the land transfer tax, called deed transfer tax, is set by each municipality rather than the province.
The Nova Scotia Credit Union Deposit Insurance Corporation protects eligible deposits up to CAD 250,000 per account type at each Nova Scotia credit union and caisse populaire. Bank deposits are covered by CDIC up to CAD 100,000 per eligible category.
Auto insurance is compulsory and sold by private insurers. The Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board reviews rates.
Nova Scotia uses an HST of 14%. Each municipality sets its own deed transfer tax rate. Non-resident owners may also pay a provincial non-resident deed transfer tax.
These products name Nova Scotia in the availability terms the provider publishes. Most listings do not state provincial availability yet, so check other categories too.
