The Home Buyers’ Amount offers a $5,000 non-refundable income tax credit amount on a qualifying home acquired during the year. For an eligible individual, the credit will provide up to $750 in federal tax relief. Go to the Home Buyers’ Amount CMHC webpage to see if you are eligible.
Note: Line 31270 was line 369 before tax year 2019.
You can claim $5,000 for the purchase of a qualifying home in the year if both of the following apply:
you or your spouse or common-law partner acquired a qualifying home
you did not live in another home owned by you or your spouse or common-law partner in the year of the acquisition or in any of the four preceding years (first-time home buyer)
You may also consult your tax accountant for more information on your eligibility so you can take advantage of this benefit.
