New Buyers Save $750


First Time Home Buyers Tax Credit. This is a non-refundable tax credit for First Time Buyers who acquire a qualifying home after January 27, 2009.

 

A new line will be incorporated into the personal income tax return form to allow buyer to claim the Credit. The Credit is calculated by multiplying the lowest personal income tax rate for the year which is (15% in 2009) by $5000 and is claimable for the taxation year in which the home is acquired. The maximum amount of the Credit in 2009 will be $750.”
