Let's start with the most recent article for the month of March titled:
Will We See The End of Land Transfer Tax in Toronto?

Toronto builders and realtors are waiting to see if Rob Ford keeps one of his key campaign promises when he’s sworn in as mayor – to repeal the Land Transfer Tax within the first year. But exactly how long it will take remains a hot topic.

Ford told the Toronto Real Estate Board’s annual general meeting earlier this month the decision may have to wait until after next year’s provincial election. “You have to work with the provincial government to eliminate the land transfer tax and the provincial government will be shut down starting probably in April or May,” he told CityNews after the meeting. “So anything that has to be filtered through the provincial government might be delayed.”

TREB spokesperson Von Palmer said late Thursday night Toronto doesn’t necessarily have to filter it through the provincial government. It can impose the tax – and remove it – without any provincial amendments under the City of Toronto Act. But he confirmed Ford could be planning to ask the province to amend the actual act itself, thereby preventing a future mayor from ever re-introducing the Land Transfer Tax. Ford could also make the decision to repeal the tax retroactive. “This could be a helpful move especially if there is repeal of the tax to minimize any impact on the market,” Palmer explained, in an email to PropertyWire.ca.

Political observers say Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty may also be more motivated to help remove the tax after this week’s municipal elections. Voters seemed to endorse change in Ford’s overwhelming victory, and Liberals fear that could spill over into next year’s provincial election.

The longer the decision takes, the more money adds up in city bank accounts. Officials confirmed the Land Transfer Tax brought in $183 million for Toronto in 2009. The tax adds about $3,725 to the cost of a $400,000 home in Toronto.

What are your feelings about Rob Ford setting his sights on the land transfer tax - was it an empty election promise or will this change be coming before you know it?

The next informative article is: New Mortgage Rules

The Department of Finance announced these 3 new mortgage rules recently:

1) Reduce the maximum amortization period to 30 years from 35 years for new government-backed insured mortgages with loan-to-value ratios of more than 80 per cent.

2) Lower the maximum amount Canadians can borrow in refinancing their mortgages to 85 per cent from 90 per cent of the value of their homes.

3) Withdraw government insurance backing on lines of credit secured by homes, such as home equity lines of credit, or HELOCs.

The Government states that this is to Support the Long-Term Stability of Canada's Housing Market.

Article #2:
How To Make Your Mortgage Interest Tax Deductible

A mortgage is often the largest debt people incur. The stress associated with its size often sets people on a mission of trying to pay it off as quickly as possible. While not without merit, this goal is often previous generation’s well intended guidance that actually lacks financial wisdom and often has negative results.

Advice is one thing that is freely given away, but watch that you take only what is worth having. Statistics Canada tells us that 10% of the population control over 50% of the wealth. The recent publication by Fraser Smith, "The Smith Manoeuvre," provides instructions and quantitative proof showing the benefit to re-think paying down the mortgage, and to re-consider debt’s place in a financial plan.

The concept is quite simple; borrowing to invest in non-registered assets, unlike borrowing for a family home, allows interest to be tax deductible (according to CRA - providing there is an expectation of profit). According to Canada Revenue Agency rules governing interest deductibility for investing are set out in IT-533 Interest Deductibility and Related Issues - October 31, 2003 and represents the most current reference at the time of writing.

The change in reason for borrowing lowers after-tax borrowing costs as the interest creates a refund at your marginal tax rate. At a 40% tax rate interest cost is 40% less. To put this in perspective, a 5% mortgage becomes 3% after interest deduction. As an investor, if the after tax rate of return exceeds 3% you are getting rich with someone else’s money.
Each mortgage payment is a blended portion of principal and interest – interest incurred to borrow for the home (not tax deductible), and principal that is paying off the total mortgage balance outstanding. At the start, a mortgage payment goes mostly to interest and less to principal – this reverses over time. As the mortgage is paid down the home equity can be re-borrowed to invest. Using the equity to invest, the interest on this borrowing is tax deductible and unlike unused home equity, able to grow and compound.

The homeowner who puts $100,000 of equity into an income producing asset with an ‘expectation’ of profit can write off the associated interest cost. At a 40% tax rate the investor’s real cost to borrow is actually 60% of the face rate of interest as a result. At the 4.25% prime rate of today the real cost to borrow is 2.55% (60% of 4.25%). In other words, to be gaining the after tax return need only be above 2.55%. While interest rates vary, the long run probability for gain is clearly strong with numerous investments. As Fraser Smith points out, since the house is the security the investment portfolio is free and clear and provides liquidity if ever required along the way.

Using home equity responsibly is a powerful tool for asset accumulation. While you may always have a mortgage - a six figure mortgage with a seven figure investment account gives little concern. For advice on this strategy can be found at www.smithman.net. While what you owe is important, what you are worth after tax is what ultimately fulfills most financial goals.
