Former Raptors coach fights Ontario over nearly $700K tax paid on multimillion-dollar home

Nick Nurse, the ex-head coach of the Toronto Raptors, is battling the Ontario government over a refusal to refund almost $700,000 in foreign buyer tax levied on their Mississauga property. This dispute highlights the complexities surrounding foreign buyer taxes and their implications for high-profile residents. While the tax was introduced to curb speculative buying by non-residents, Nurse's case underscores potential legal challenges and questions about fairness and policy effectiveness.
