If you know you are buying your
first home in
the next 90 days, you can make a $25,000 RRSP contribution or $50,000
for two people. That means a big refund in April. You then withdraw the
$25,000 or $50,000 to pay for that initial home’s down payment.
- Most people have the RRSP room to make a contribution. If you are
buying a house by June and you have the down payment in cash, you can
make the contribution to get the tax return.
- The “catch” is the contribution normally has to be in the plan for 90 days before you can take it out. Your possession date would have to be 91+ days after you make the RRSP contribution. If you would like more information on this call me at 403-836-1201 or visit my website .
