REAL ESTATE COMMISSION TAX DEDUCTABLE?

Carl  Stars: Real Estate Agent in Burlington, ON

I recently attended a seminar on " Taxation of Residential Real Estate" put on by the Oakville Real Estate Board. The speaker was Maureen Tabuchi and was sponsered by Insuranceland and Colour Tech marketing One expense often overlooked is moving expenses. You can potentially garner a huge refund providing you move at least 40 kilometers to another location. Your moving expenses might be allowable if you are employed and your new home is closer to work, you are moving closer to your self employed business. You are a full time student and moving to attend school or closer to a summer job.

Many expenses that may be deductable are as follows, packing, breaking a lease, furniture storage, insurance costs, transportation costs, up to 15 days of meals, mortgage prepayment penalties, legal fees, and REAL ESTATE COMMISSIONS ( OF YOUR OLD HOME) mortgage interest, property taxes( up to $5000 ) utility reconnections.

Please if you are planning a move over 40 km , please contact your accountant to verify the above information, and to verify the latest tax information. So you can know what you can and cannot deduct.

Lowville's Largest Street Sale, Burlington, Ontario

Jo-Anne Smith- Oakville, Burlington and Mississauga Region Real Estate, Ont: Real Estate Agent in Oakville, ON

Walking bridge over Bronte Creek in Lowville


Traveling north up Guelph Line in
Burlington , you eventually come
to the beautiful historic village
of 'Lowville '.
It is aptly named as it sits in an emerald-green, lush valley where  sparkling Bronte Creek  flows prettily through.

I was in Lowville last week and it was the most pleasant short excursion experience I've had in awhile.








One-room historic stone school house in Lowville                                                





The road that leads to the stream and past the old stone schoolhouse is lined with tall lilacs which are presently in bloom. The beautiful scent carried throughout the village and brought to mind what all of our pioneer villages must have been like 150 years ago.

Lowville is having it's 'Largest Street Sale ' this Thursday, Friday and Saturday (May 28, 29 and 30th) from 8am-3pm.



This treasure-hunter's dream sale is being held at the Lowville United Church , 5800 Guelph Line, North Burlington.
All residents in the region are invited to participate by hosting their own yard sales and for those who live in other areas. the church will be renting space in their parking lot.
An outdoor barbecue will be held on all three days with regular barbecue fare being offered for sale.

I hope you'll attend. You just might find an antique treasure or something you've been wanting for a long time.

You can reserve a spot or find out more information by calling 905-681-0864 or by  contacting  Owen Calhoun / Marilyn Fox
