First Time Homebuyer RRSP Program:
- Savings must have been in the RRSP's for at least 90 days prior to withdrawal
- If not prepaid in the given year then CRA will add 1/15th of the amount due to be paid back to your gross income for that given year
- Withdraw up to $25,000 per applicant from their RRSP's tax-free
- 15 years repayment period for the amount withdrawn. This payback period won't count as a 2nd contribution to the RRSP and therefore will not reduce their income for a second time
Land Transfer Tax Refund
$4000 refund applied by the lawyer on closing. This equates to being able to purchase a home of up to $368,000 and avoid paying any land transfer tax!
First-Time Home Buyer's Tax Credit
The First-time Home Buyers’ Tax Credit was introduced as part of ‘Canada’s Economic Action Plan’ to assist Canadians in purchasing their first home. It helps to recover closing costs such as legal fees, home inspections, and land transfer taxes.
The Home Buyers’ Tax Credit, at current taxation rates, works out to a rebate of $750 for all first-time buyers. After you buy your first home, the credit must be claimed within the year of purchase and it is non-refundable. If you are purchasing a home with a co-applicant, the combined claim cannot exceed $750.
To receive your $750 claim, you must include it with your personal tax return under line 369.
