*Welcome Tax Reimbursment*

The city of Montreal recently launched a program to provide a refund of the "Welcome Tax" to both first time buyers AND existing home owners. You need to puchase a property to be eligible (eligible for purchases in the last 6 months if you have a child under 18):

If you’re buying a property for the first time, take advantage of:
-A lump sum financial assistance when you purchase a new property;
-A refund of your "welcome" tax if you are a family with at least one child who is under 18 and you purchase a new property or an existing residential building with 1, 2 or 3 above-ground dwelling units.

If you already own a property, or have owned one in the last five years, you are entitled to receive:
-A refund of your "welcome" tax if you are a family with at least one child under 18 and you purchase a new property having at least 3 closed bedrooms with windows.

In Montreal, 43.2 centimetres of snow fell.Winds gusted up to 110 kilometres per hour, causing blowing snow and low visibility. It was the greatest snowfall ever recorded — until a few years ago. On Dec. 27, 2012, the city got 45.6 centimetres of snow, beating the 1971 record.

It was coined the ‘storm of the century’ and for Quebecers who are old enough to remember March 4, 1971, it was a day they have never forgotten.

Comment tirer profit de son immeuble à revenus?!

Êtes-vous intéressé par les investissements immobiliers? L'avantage de posséder un immeuble à revenu est la possibilité de tirer un revenu, mais certaines dépenses sont toutefois nécessaires afin de générer un revenu. Étant donné que ces dépenses sont effectuées dans le but de gagner un revenu, la Loi de l'impôt sur le revenu permet de les déduire dans la déclaration de revenus. Ces dépenses viendront donc diminuer le revenu brut tiré de l'immeuble à revenus dans le but d'obtenir le revenu net de location.(...)

Détenir des biens immobiliers comporte son lot d'avantages pourvu que les règles soient bien appliquées.
