Canada's Mortgage Industry Welcomes Federal Budget Announcements

Temporary home renovations tax credit of up to $1,350 for eligible home renovations and alterations.
Increase in the home buyers RSP plan, withdrawal limit increased to $25,000 from the current $20,000
A new first time home buyers tax credit that will provide up to $750 in tax relief for closing costs. They're giving first time home buyers tax breaks designed to deal with added expenses like legal fees and - in what's certainly a message to Mayor David Miller - land transfer taxes. Those buying an abode will get a 15 per cent tax credit on up to $5,000 in costs.
Broad based personal tax reductions including an increase in the personal exemption and increases to the limits for the two lowest tax brackets.
