Have you heard of the First Time Home Buyers’ Tax Credit?

Purchasing a home is a big decision and a major financial commitment. Did you know that there is a Tax Credit available for First Time Homebuyers? An amount of $10,000 can be claimed for the purchase of a qualifying home in 2022. 

You can claim up to $10,000 for the purchase of a qualifying home in 2022 if both the following apply:

  • You (or your spouse or common-law partner) acquired a qualifying home
  • You did not live in another home that you (or your spouse or common-law partner) owned in the year of acquisition or in any of the four preceding years (first-time home buyer)

NOTE: you can claim up to $5,000 for the purchase of a qualifying home in 2021 or earlier if you met the conditions above.
