🏡 **Buying Your First Home in Ontario? Don’t Leave Money on the Table!**
If you’re a first-time home buyer, there are several government programs and tax benefits that may help make homeownership more affordable.
Here are **5 incentives you should know about:**
💰 **1. First Home Savings Account (FHSA)**
Save for your first home with tax-deductible contributions and tax-free qualifying withdrawals.
🏠 **2. Home Buyers’ Plan (HBP)**
Eligible buyers may be able to withdraw money from their RRSP to help with a down payment.
🧾 **3. First-Time Home Buyers’ Tax Credit**
A federal tax credit that may provide additional tax relief to eligible first-time buyers.
🍁 **4. Land Transfer Tax Rebates**
Eligible first-time buyers may qualify for rebates on Ontario land transfer tax—and potentially Toronto’s municipal land transfer tax as well.
🏗️ **5. New Home GST/HST Rebate**
Eligible buyers of qualifying new or substantially renovated homes may be able to recover some GST/HST.
⚠️ **Important:** Eligibility, limits and rules apply, and government programs can change. Make sure you understand the requirements before relying on any incentive.
