No income tax is deducted from these funds, as long as they are repaid to an RRSP according to the government‘s repayment schedule. The plan was originally introduced as a temporary measure to assist home buyers with saving for a home. The original plan ended on March 1, 1994 but a modified plan took its place and will continue on an ongoing basis for firstâ€"time buyers. How the Plan Works. You may participate in the plan if you (or your spouse) have not owned a home and lived in it as your principal place of residence in any of the five calendar years before the time of the withdrawal. You can only participate in the RRSP Home Buyer‘s Plan. Once you enter into an agreement to buy or build a qualifying home, you may withdraw funds from your RRSPs under the plan. You must acquire the home before October of the year following the year of withdrawal. Under certain circumstances you may be granted an additional year to acquire a qualifying home. After entering the agreement, you must complete Form TI036 which is available from a Revenue Canada district office. This form should then be submitted to your RRSP issuer (bank, credit union, life insurance company, trust company or brokerage firm). Once approved, the form gives you permission to withdraw funds from your RRSP without any taxes being withheld. You may make contributions to the plan from more than one RRSP, as long as the $20,000 limit is not exceeded. In addition, if you have a spouse who is THE RRSP HOME BUYER‘S PLAN INFO 22nd annual General Meeting of also eligible, you can each withdraw up to $20,000 towards the down payment, for a total of $40,000. You may withdraw money from your RRSP taxâ€" free if that money was deposited at least 90 days prior to withdrawal. A Qualifying Home. To participate in the plan, you must enter into an agreement to purchase or construct a home which falls into the following categories: * It is located in Canada. * It was acquired not more than 30 days before receiving the withdrawal under the RRSP Home Buyer‘s Plan. * It is intended to be occupied as your principal place of residence within one year after buying or building it. Both existing and newly built homes are eligible. They include detached or semiâ€"detached homes, townhouses, condominiums, mobile homes or apartments in a duplex, triplex, fourplex or apartment building. RRSP Repayment Schedule The money you withdraw from your RRSP must be repaid over a period of not more than 15 years to retain your tax deferred status. If you choose to pay less than your scheduled annual payments, the amount that you don‘t repay must be reported as income on your tax return for that year. Trafalgar Rd.
