Get your RRSP deduction & use it for down payment !! A legal loophole.

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.
