The tax benefits of home ownership



Now that February is over, all those tax-related documents have likely started arriving in your mailbox. Whether you’re socking them away to use at a later date, or hoping to put them to work this weekend, there are a number of housing-related deductions and credits you should keep in mind as you go through the tax filing process. Pay particular attention if:

You’re a first-time homebuyer
Anyone who has purchased a home for the first time can claim a non-refundable tax credit of up to $750.

You’ve made your home more accessible
If you have mobility impairments and spent money making your home more accessible in the last year, you’re eligible to claim those renovation expenses under the medical expenses deductions.

You bought a new house
If you bought a new build for under $450,000, you may be eligible to claim the GST/HST new housing rebate—provided it’s your principal residence.

You own a rental property
The downside to owning a rental property is that you have to claim your rental income as, well, income. The upside is that you can claim many expenses that go into maintaining a rental property—such as advertising costs, insurance and mortgage interest.

You work from home
Whether you are self-employed, or a commissioned or professional employee who works from home, you can claim a portion of your home office expenses—such as heating, home insurance, electricity and mortgage insurance.

While your accountant or bookkeeper is likely the best person to ask about other household deductions, I can definitely help with any mortgage-related queries you might have! So whether you’re looking to renew, refinance or simply want to chat, don’t hesitate to drop me a line!

  9. Advice for heart broken. my boyfriend that promised me marriage failed me and impregnate me and leave,he dump me,he stop calling” he stop picking my calls,and he no longer respond to me. I have be looking for solution,I fall into the hands of fake spell caster,they rough me off and took my money without help.I have cried,I have weep”and tears runs out of eyes. The silentness in my heart brought me to the deepest path of failure that I lost my job. Crying all day,because of my life was lonely. So thanks to Ukaka that came into my life and brought me the greatest joy that was lost. I saw his mail while browsing and I contact and tell him what I am passing through with no doubt because what saw about him,was enough to believe. And I was given words of solution on what to do. I can’t really help thinking about it I have tried to see what I can do, I manage to provide him some materials and he help me with the rest,after casting the spell, 12hrs later he came with rose on his hand and I was even about going out,i saw him in front of my door when he sees me he knee and said he is dying I should forgive him and accept him back he was crying,I can’t wait to let him finish I quickly crab him and kiss him, just then” he said he is restless without me, just as the prophet has said he will be. He brought out a ring and put it on my hand. Our wedding day was scheduled,1week after we got married. today makes it 2weeks and we are living happily I don’t know how to praise him enough, he has done me a thing I can never forget. And I can’t really share to myself alone, I want y’all to help me praise him because if it is wasn’t for him I already plan of committing suicide. But right now I am now so happy more than I was before. And you out there crying for help you’ve already got one,Dr.Untiy is the man that you need in all rampart. contact his address if you need his service, Here’s his contact..
