Federal budget offers good news for homebuyers and homeowner

[Malysh'ka]

The federal budget announced a new First-Time Home Buyers' Tax Credit of up to $750 to help homebuyers with closing costs such as land transfer taxes and legal fees, a new Home Renovation Tax Credit of up to $1,350 for homeowners who renovate, a new funding program for ecoENERGY retrofits that provides home and property owners up to $5,000 for energy improvements and a new social housing program.
The federal budget also announced an increase to the Home Buyers' Plan withdrawal limit to $25,000 from $20,000. The Plan was first introduced in 1992 to help first-time homebuyers by allowing them to withdraw from their RRSPs to buy a home. The withdrawal limit had not been increased since then. Eligible couples can now withdraw up to $50,000.

А интересно, это ко всем 1st time home buyers относится независимо от цены дома? Или опять только на сумму покупки не выше 425 тысяч?
Где бы детали посмотреть? Ссылку не дадите?

Увы, не дам - пришло по рассылке от риэлтора. Думаю, можно погуглить. Или вот Таня Урбаняк подскажет, она всё про это знает.
Могу только про реновейшн такс кредит рассказать - по телеку говорили: это 15% от суммы, затраченной на реновейшн, но так чтобы не более 1350 в итоге получилось. И реновейшн надо произвести до февраля следующего года.
