Set your sights on a

NEW HOME THIS SPRING

ave you set your sights on a new home this spring? This publication is a great place to get all the advice you need to ensure a purchase without pitfalls.

Home-hunting takes patience, persistence, and a little luck. So where do you start?

Physically explore the areas you’re interested in before you start to actually shop. You will find out things no map can tell you. Are there schools, restaurants, shopping?

Good bike trails? Do you feel comfortable walking around? Pick up a local paper and read the community news. You can learn a lot from the Internet, but nothing beats a personal visit.

When it’s time to shop, a wealth of information is available right here in Resale Home & Condo Guide, and visit us online at resalehomesandcondos.ca.

There are so many housing options to choose from today, finding the perfect home won’t leave you feeling like you had to compromise on style or function.

We hope you enjoy this issue. Drop us a line and let us know what you think.

Happy home hunting!

The good news:

IT’S FINALLY SPRING

t’s hard to believe, considering some of the harsh weather we’ve had of late, but spring is finally here. And along with the crocuses budding and the beginning of baseball season, a sure sign of spring’s arrival is the inevitability of tax time.

In this issue of Resale Home & Condo Guide, you’ll get some good financial tips to make tax time a little less taxing. Let’s face it, most of us don’t enjoy filing our taxes.

But think of it this way: once your taxes are out of the way, you can enjoy the pleasures of spring. Let’s hear it for flowers, patios and sandals (okay maybe not just yet).

But with the nicer weather, it’s a good time to get out there and start visiting all of the terrific homes for sale around the city. The “For Sale” signs are starting to pop up like tulips at this time of year.

So replace your Sorels and parkas with more seasonal gear and make plans to call on some of the stunning homes on offer in the GTA. All of the beautiful architecture, great landscaping and dreamy colours will surely help you shed the winter “blahs” and get you into the spirit of the spring season.

But please don’t forget to do your taxes.

WHAT’S AVAILABLE AND WHAT IT COSTS Transactions through the Toronto MLS system for the City of Toronto were down by 16 per cent year-over-year to 2,189. The number of new listings was also down compared to February 2012 by the same rate as sales.

The average selling price in the City, at $552,014, was essentially the same as what was reported in February 2012.

“The overall average selling price in the City of Toronto was flat year-over-year for two reasons. First, there were fewer luxury single detached homes sold for over two-million dollars compared to 2012. Second, selling prices for condo apartments,

12

which account for a substantial component of overall sales in Toronto, were down compared to last year,” said Jason Mercer, the Toronto Real Estate Board’s Senior Manager of Market Analysis.

“While we do expect to see some month-to-month volatility in home prices this year, the average selling price for 2013 as a whole is expected to increase at a moderate pace, driven by the low-rise market segment where supply remains tight, continued Mercer.”

How to make tax time less taxing

T

here’s an old adage that there are two givens in life, death and taxes, and both are cause for stress.

Few Canadians look forward to doing their annual tax filing, but there are ways to take some of the drudgery out of the season. Cleo Hamel, senior tax analyst at H&R Block Canada, suggests the following simple steps to make tax time less taxing:

Year-round planning Reducing your taxes owed takes a

little bit of planning during the year. Maximize your return by taking advantage of key dates. For example, make your charitable donations before December 31 or, if you have a little bit of extra cash, consider making additional RRSP contributions during the first 60 days of the year to help reduce your tax payable.

Reduce your worries Several Canadians are fearful of filing

their own taxes and making mistakes on their annual return.

Hamel suggests buying tax software products that provide you a step–by–step guide to filing your taxes so that you don’t miss any credits or deductions.

Worried about being audited? Some tax packages like H&R Block At Home boxed software offer the peace of mind of free audit assistance. That means you can access a tax professional to help manage correspondence with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), should you get an audit request after doing your taxes yourself.

Keep records in one place

Organization is key to reducing stress at tax time. Keeping all your receipts (child care costs, RRSP contributions, charitable donations, public transit passes and receipts, medical expenses, etc.) in one place will make filing that much easier. It also ensures that you take advantage of all the credits and deductions available to you.

ORGANIZATION IS KEY TO REDUCING STRESS AT TAX TIME. KEEPING ALL YOUR RECEIPTS (CHILD CARE COSTS, RRSP CONTRIBUTIONS, CHARITABLE DONATIONS, PUBLIC TRANSIT PASSES AND RECEIPTS, MEDICAL EXPENSES, ETC.) IN ONE PLACE WILL MAKE FILING THAT MUCH EASIER.

PAY DOWN CREDIT CARD DEBT. BY DECREASING YOUR PRINCIPAL, YOUR INTEREST PAYMENTS WILL ALSO LOWER, LEAVING A LITTLE MORE BREATHING ROOM AT THE END OF EACH MONTH.

Yield a big return

TOP EXCUSES FOR PROCRASTINATING ON YOUR TAXES It’s that time of year again: tax-filing season. If your spouse, a friend or a tax professional is trying to get you to file your taxes, H&R Block Canada has prepared a handy list of Top 10 Excuses which will be sure to get those pests off your back.

In today’s economy it seems our tax returns can’t get here fast enough.

Who doesn’t love a little extra cash in their pocket? Here are some small suggestions that will help yield big returns.

1 I decided to file my nails instead of

1. Pay down credit card debt. By decreasing your principal, your interest

3 Chuck Norris never had to file taxes.

payments will also lower, leaving a little more breathing room at the end of each month.

2. Place money in a savings account. If you’ve been eyeing travel

brochures or checking price drops on that 50-inch flat-screen television, putting a portion of your tax return into a savings account will help you reach your goal faster.

3. Make a donation. The rising costs for everything from food to

transportation around the world mean that non–profit organizations and charities working in developing countries are also feeling the pinch. “For example, it now costs more for our field workers to provide daily meals to children in school and to bring necessary medicine and vaccines to health clinics,” says Mark Lukowski, CEO, Christian Children’s Fund of Canada. “But most of all, it is stressful for the children and families who were already living in poverty and who now wonder how they can afford a bag of rice or their children’s school fees.” Give a gift to help someone in need at ccfcanada.ca.

4. Service your car. Cars always need repairs at the most inconvenient times. Repairs can be very costly and be a large burden if funds are not ready available. Servicing your car with your tax return is a proactive way to avoid these irritating repairs. Not to say you will not run into trouble, but perhaps this tune-up will help to prevent unexpected costs later on.

5. Splurge. Use a portion of your tax return to reward yourself for all the

hard work you have done all year long. Updating your wardrobe or purchasing a new toy will help you feel great and inspire you to behave until next year’s tax return.

my taxes.

2 I’m not coming out of my house until this “skinny jeans” thing passes.

Why should I?

4 I’m waiting for the Leafs to win the Cup.

5 I’m busy today. Gym. Tan. Work.

6 I have triskaidekaphobia, fear of the number 13.

7 If I file my taxes for 2012, it will draw attention to the fact that I didn’t do them in 2011 or 2010.

8 I’m busy trying to keep up with the Kardashians.

9 I have two kids in university. I no longer have any income to declare.

10 I was about to file my taxes but Kanye West interrupted me.

If you’re tired of procrastinating, Hamel suggests, “Whether you will be writing a cheque to the Receiver General or filing for a refund, be sure to get the best outcome possible. If you do your taxes yourself, using tax software products like those available at hrblock.ca will help make sure you get back all the money you deserve or pay the least amount of tax possible.”

While these tips may seem small and simple, each will yield large returns.

Planning before spending will allow you to do the most with the money you receive. NC

Navigating

Canada’s housing market B Y A N N HA N NA H

P

erhaps you are feeling insecure about your knowledge of the financial implications of homeownership.

Homes are a major asset, and for most Canadians, represent the single largest financial investment of their lives. Most buyers must finance their purchase using some form of credit. While homeownership can be a significant source of equity over the long term, Canadians need to remain vigilant about their finances at this critical decision point in their lives.

In a recent survey commissioned by The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA), 70 per cent of young Canadians between the ages of 18 and 29 indicated a “major need” for more information about the financial implications of buying a home. This figure is particularly meaningful as many in this age group are on the cusp of buying a home for the first time, and need to make informed financial decisions about their future.

Realtors and their national association, CREA, have collaborated with the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada (FCAC) to develop and provide a resource for Canadians to help them more easily understand and navigate the home buying process. The Homebuyers’ Road Map* outlines the financial aspects of the homebuying process as well as the importance of negotiating with lenders and utilizing government programs. Our industry’s goal is to empower Canadians with knowledge, skills and confidence to make responsible financial decisions about homeownership, one of the most significant financial and lifestyle decisions most will ever make. *The Homebuyers’ Road Map is available free of charge at CREA.ca/resources

Many homeowners with locked-in rates may not feel the impact of market fluctuations until their mortgage comes due for renewal.

Buying a home is always a big decision. Whether it is your first time, or your third or fourth home, it is a big investment that warrants careful financial planning and consideration.

TREB recognizes members of organized real estate have an important role to play. We are the homebuyer’s first line of contact, and as such, we need to continue using our knowledge and expertise of the homebuying process to empower Canadians to make informed financial decisions.

The truth about

FAMILY TRUSTS B Y J AY S O N S C H WA R Z

Jayson Schwarz LL.M. is a Toronto real estate lawyer and partner in the law firm Schwarz Law LLP. Visit schwarzlaw.ca or email info@schwarzlaw.ca and give us your questions, concerns, critiques and quandaries.

W

hen people hear the words “family trust” or “Florida trust,” they immediately think of wealthy, old-money families such as the Kennedys. The truth is that trusts are simply a second layer of estate planning, over and above a will, for people who have assets that they want distributed on an ongoing basis after death, or even during life. In addition, trusts are an effective way of reducing the tax liability of your estate while still allowing you, or whoever you designate, to be in complete control of your assets.

What is a trust?

A trust is a thing, brought to life by a trust document, that creates an entity able to operate on the surface as a separate individual, capable of holding assets and/or operating a business. Instead of shareholders, it has beneficiaries for whom the assets must benefit, and trustees who follow a set of rules that are crafted by the lawyer to satisfy your needs that describe how the trust shall be operated and for whose benefit. Unlike a will, which merely says who gets what after death, a trust allows you to strategically plan your succession with a view to minimizing or delaying tax and government administration fees. In addition, putting your assets into a carefully structured trust will allow you to control your estate after death. Trusts may be used while you are alive to split income amongst family members and others to minimize your own income tax burden. Trusts have a wide variety of uses, and for this reason several different types of trusts have been developed.

What are some of the different types of trusts?

Trusts can range from the very simple to the very complex. Trusts can vary from document to document as to their effect, complexity and use. The following are but a brief sampling of different kinds of trusts: › TESTAMEN T TAMEN TARY TRUST It is possible to create a trust within your will by T specifying how certain assets will be handled and then distributed after your death. As an example you can stipulate how minors will receive certain bequests and how assets may be invested. › SPOUSAL TRUST It can be included in a will or as a separate document in order to place some or all of your assets into the trust prior to death purely for the benefit of your spouse in order to avoid the estate tax. You could provide your spouse a life interest in order to enjoy the assets yet preserve them for the children. › FAMILY TRUST This trust is used during your life for any number of purposes. It can be used as a personal and corporate succession planning tool, as a discretionary, flexible tax-planning tool and for creditor protection. › HENSON TRUST This trust is designed to allow disabled persons receiving disability benefits to protect their assets and those benefits. › INTERNAT ERNA IONAL OR FLORIDA TRUST this can be an extremely important ERNAT planning tool for Canadians who are looking to purchase property in Florida or elsewhere outside of Canada. When prepared properly it can insulate you from US estate taxes on death.

How do I know if a trust is right for me?

It is important to consult with a lawyer and accountant experienced in the use of trusts to determine which kind of trust is right for you and your family. Trusts are dynamic and useful tools that allow flexibility, peace of mind, succession planning and tax planning, now and in the future.

Be aware of new provincial tax changes › This is supposed to be a temporary tax bracket until Ontario’s deficit has been eliminated in several years.

ONTARIO TRILLIUM BENEFIT

› Effective July 2012, the Ontario Trillium Benefit combines payments from the Ontario sales tax credit, Ontario energy and property tax credit, and Northern Ontario energy credit. Further details are available on page 117 in the chapter on Ontario Provincial Tax.

HEALTHY HOMES RENOVATION TAX CREDIT

T

he Certified General Accountants of Ontario advise of a number of provincial tax changes for filers this year:

INCREASED THRESHOLD FOR ALL INCOME TAX BRACKETS

› Taxable income thresholds in all three Ontario provincial tax brackets were increased by 3.3 per cent in 2012, reflecting changes to Canada’s consumer price index (CPI) in Ontario. All indexed non-refundable tax credits also increased by 3.3 per cent.

NEW HIGH INCOME TAX BRACKET

› The Ontario government has introduced a new tax bracket. Beginning in 2012, individuals will be taxed at a rate of 12.16 per cent on that portion of their income in excess of $500,000 annually. That will increase to 13.16 per cent in 2013.

38

› In 2012, Ontario introduced a refundable Healthy Homes Renovation Tax Credit, which is designed to assist senior citizens with the cost of permanent home modifications required to improve accessibility or assist with mobility to and within their home. › This credit is calculated as 15 per cent on up to $10,000, or $1,500, to cover eligible annual expenses (wheelchair ramps, widening passage doors, hand rails in corridors), among other qualifying expenditures. › Couples who are living together may only claim up to $10,000 in qualifying expenses in total.

Family members who live with an elderly relative may claim this expense on behalf of the household.

Couples who live separately because of medical or other reasons may each claim up to $10,000. › For the 2012 tax year, eligible expenses will qualify for this credit if they were incurred between October 1, 2011 and December 31, 2012.

In future years, expenses can only be incurred within the corresponding calendar year Additional information regarding federal and provincial tax changes is available online at cga. ontario.org. NC

Why are you in debt?

B Y G A I L VA Z - O X L A D E

O

ften people who are in debt say they no longer want to be in debt. And often they take the steps to get themselves out. But, it seems to me, just as often people who claim they want to get out of debt do little to change their behaviour and their outcome. They keep on doing the things that got them into debt in the first place. Here are four questions you may want to ask about why you’re in the hole: ›› Do you buy stuff you don’t need? The biggest cue that you’ve got the impulse monkey on your back are the things you have bought but not used: the clothes with the tags still on, the shoes you have yet to wear, the new dishes you’ve used just once or twice in the six months that you’ve owned them.

Impulse shoppers are the first to admit they have a problem and the last to do anything about it. If you’re an impulse shopper, you need to remove the fuel for the impulse. That means cutting up your credit cards – or disabling them in some other fashion – and limiting the amount of cash you carry. It also means leaving your debit card at home unless you’re headed out to take care of a need: gas, groceries, etc. When you do go shopping, you have to use a list and never stray from it.

Window shopping is torture for the impulse shopper so don’t browse stores or participate in this female bonding ritual since you’re just teasing yourself by drooling over a bunch of stuff you don’t need. ›› Do you use credit to buy things you can’t afford to buy with cash? Hey, when you spend money you don’t have by using your credit card, line of credit or overdraft, you’re doing the wrong thing, plain and simple. If you can’t afford to pay for something in cash today, you should not be buying that thing, I don’t care how important you think it is, how great a deal you’re getting, or how desperate you feel.

Using credit is no way to get out of debt. Put away all forms of credit and commit to building yourself a budget that balances. If you want something, you’ll have to give something else up to accumulate the cash you need to buy it. If you can’t come up with the cash, you must not want it badly enough. ›› Do you buy things for a one-time use that you could borrow from a friend or rent? Practically everyone is guilty of this. You need something such as a sewing machine or power washer twice a year so you go and buy one and then watch it – and the money you spent, likely on credit – sit and grow cobwebs (and interest charges). What’s with us all? Do we have to own everything we ever use? In the old days, friends borrowed from each other and stuff got way more use. Now our possessions are so much a part of who we are we: a) hate to lend, and b) hate to have to admit we don’t already have one. Dumb! And why do we feel the need to apologize because we don’t have the right kind of wine glasses when entertaining guests? “Sorry, I only have these cheap glasses.” It’s a glass, for heaven’s sake!

46

›› Do you buy certain brands because they are a status symbol? While any car gets you from point A to point B, the high-cost, brand-name buggies come with “oohs” and “ahhs” from friends and relatives. Ditto with the D&G sunglasses, the LV handbags, the CL shoes... I could go on forever.

If you’re paying a premium to have a brand name, you have to ask yourself why. Is it because you don’t have confidence in your own sense of style?

Is it because you’re trying to emulate the dudes and dames of TV and movie fame, wearing what they wear, driving what they drive, eating what they eat?

How come? Is your life so sad that you’re trying to escape?

I’m all for spending your money on the things that bring you pleasure, so if you’re not using credit to make expensive brands part of your image, I’m not talking to you. But if you are using credit, what makes you think you have the right to this stuff if you can’t afford to pay for it?

MARKET COMMENTARY

48

Courtesy of Toronto Real Estate Board

HALTON REGION

PEEL REGION/ ORANGEVILLE

CITY OF TORONTO

Sales fell one per cent to 442 in Halton Region last month in comparison to February 2012, while the number of homes actively listed for sale at the end of the month was up 28 per cent to 1,183.

This means that market conditions were more balanced compared to last year.

“While one month does not make a trend, it would appear that buyers benefitted from more choice in the market in February, at least in some segments.

This is further evidenced by the fact that the average days a home remained on the market was up in comparison to February 2012,” said Jason Mercer, TREB’s Senior Manager of Market Analysis.

The average selling price in Halton for February sales was $573,125, almost unchanged from the average of $572,715 reported during the same month in 2012.

“It should be noted that while more balanced market conditions played a role in more moderate price growth in February, the average selling price also remained flat year-over-year due, at least in part, due to a different mix of home types selling this year compared to last,” continued Mercer.

The average selling price in Peel Region and Orangeville combined was $456,270 in February. This represented a six per cent increase compared to February 2012, when the average price amounted to slightly more than $430,000.

“Market conditions have remained quite tight in Peel Region, particularly where low-rise home types are concerned.

However, market conditions have become more balanced over the past few months with sales declining at a greater rate than new listings,” said Jason Mercer, TREB’s Senior Manager of Market Analysis.

The number of transactions in Peel/ Orangeville was down by 20 per cent yearover-year in February, while the number of new listings was down by seven per cent.

“Stricter mortgage lending guidelines that came online in July of 2012 prompted some households to take a step back and reassess their home ownership needs.

Some of these households have put their decision to purchase on hold while they save up a larger down payment and/or wait for their incomes to increase,” continued Mercer.

Transactions through the Toronto MLS system for the City of Toronto were down by 16 per cent year-over-year to 2,189. The number of new listings was also down compared to February 2012 by the same rate as sales.

The average selling price in the City, at $552,014, was essentially the same as what was reported in February 2012.

“The overall average selling price in the City of Toronto was flat year-over-year for two reasons. First, there were fewer luxury single detached homes sold for over twomillion dollars compared to 2012. Second, selling prices for condo apartments, which account for a substantial component of overall sales in Toronto, were down compared to last year,” said Jason Mercer, the Toronto Real Estate Board’s Senior Manager of Market Analysis.

“While we do expect to see some month-to-month volatility in home prices this year, the average selling price for 2013 as a whole is expected to increase at a moderate pace, driven by the low-rise market segment where supply remains tight,” continued Mercer.

Improve your home’s energy efficiency this spring

I

t’s time to end the winter hibernating and revitalize your home for another busy spring and summer season.

As you plan your spring cleaning, consider using the opportunity to think about how to improve your home’s energy efficiency. There are some cleaning tasks that will help save energy and money. Dave Walton, a resident expert at Direct Energy, shares some practical tips guaranteed to help you get your home in shape, while saving money: ›› Examine windows and insulation.

Up to 30 per cent of a home’s heating and cooling costs can be lost through poorly fitted windows and doors. Caulking and weather stripping or upgrading to new energy efficient windows can save homeowners approximately $150 per year on their energy bill.

›› Don’t forget about the light bulbs.

When replacing them, remember that an energy-saving light bulb can last up to 10 times longer than a normal bulb and use up to 75 per cent less energy. You’ll save yourself some money and won’t have to worry about this regular chore.

AS YOU PLAN YOUR SPRING CLEANING, CONSIDER USING THE OPPORTUNITY TO THINK ABOUT HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR HOME’S ENERGY EFFICIENCY. ›› Remember your filters.

Replacing or washing your furnace filters allows a central air conditioning system to run more efficiently too.

Clogged filters mean your furnace motor has to work harder, which eats up more energy. Filters should be washed or replaced every three months (some are 30 days), so start by making this part of your spring-cleaning routine.

Try adding a reminder to your calendar for the first day of each quarter. ›› Consult the experts.

Consider booking a pre-summer maintenance with a licensed technician who can make sure your air conditioner is summer-ready and able to perform more efficiently when higher temperatures put it to the test.

Additional energy-efficient tips can be found online atdavescorner.ca. NC

Five tips for a safe ‘open house’ event AN OPEN HOUSE IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO MARKET YOUR INVESTMENT TO A WIDE RANGE OF POTENTIAL BUYERS AND IT CAN BE A REWARDING EXPERIENCE IF EXECUTED WISELY.

H

osting an ‘open house’ is an effective real estate sales tool that your agent will likely recommend, but how can you be sure your security will be kept in check?

“Ask your Realtor questions about how to prepare for visitors,” says Carla Bouchard, a broker with Royal LePage Metro. “Make sure that you understand what occurs during the open house and how to safeguard your possessions and your home.”

BOUCHARD RECOMMENDS THE FOLLOWING FIVE SAFETY TIPS AS YOU PREPARE FOR THE EVENT: 1. Put away items of value.

Stow away items such as jewelry and family heirlooms. Store prescription drugs in a location other than your medicine cabinets.

3. Keep personal documents out of view.

Documents containing financial or personal information should be put away to give you peace of mind when it comes to your privacy.

4. Take inventory of any remaining personal property.

Make notes or take photographs of items that you were not able to store and share them with your Realtor prior to your open house.

5. Find out if visitors will be asked for identification.

Keeping a list of visitor information is not only a useful safety tip; it also provides a list of prospects to follow up with. An open house is an opportunity to market your investment to a wide range of potential buyers and it can be a rewarding experience if executed wisely.

More information on open houses can be found at www.royallepage.ca. NC

2. Ask your Realtor if they plan to escort people through your home.

By giving guided tours to one small group at a time, you won’t lose track of the visitors.

WHAT’S AVAILABLE AND WHAT IT COSTS As with many areas of the GTA over the past few months, York Region/Lower Simcoe County has experienced year-overyear declines in sales coupled with an increase in active listings.

This situation continued this past February, with sales down by 17 per cent compared to last year and active listings at the end of the month up by 21 per cent.

“Some would-be home buyers in York Region were certainly impacted by the stricter mortgage lending guidelines that came into effect in July 2012. Some households have taken time to reevaluate their situation with regard to their budget and housing

60

needs in terms of home type and location,” said Jason Mercer, the Toronto Real Estate Board’s Senior Manager of Market Analysis.

The average price for York Region/Lower Simcoe County sales in February was $563,775 – up two per cent from an average of $554,907 reported during the same month in 2012.

“Buyers have started to benefit from more choice in the marketplace. The average time a home remained on the market before selling in February was up by five days in comparison to last year. This suggests that buyers in at least some segments of the market have become more patient,” continued Mercer.

WHAT’S AVAILABLE AND WHAT IT COSTS Sales fell nine per cent year-over-year in Durham Region to 751, compared to 828 transactions last February. At the same time, however, active listings bucked the GTA trend by falling 22 per cent to 1,367 at month’s end.

“While sales fell in Durham last month, similar to other regions in the GTA, it is important to note that both active and new listings declined by an even greater amount, which means market conditions actually tightened resulting in less choice for buyers. This is a key reason why the average selling price rose at an above-average pace last month,” noted Jason Mercer, TREB’s Senior Manager of Market Analysis.

The average selling price rose nine per cent on an annual basis in Durham to $353,114, compared to an average of $325,188 last year.

“While the average selling price was up substantially yearover-year, the average selling price in Durham still points to a considerable amount of value relative to many other areas of the GTA,” continued Mercer.

Working from home:

tax tips for the self-employed

BY JEN N K ILLINS

T

hey say two things in life are certain: death and taxes. How we are going to die and how much tax we pay are both grey areas and, for the most part, out of our control. But let’s leave the Grim Reaper in the graveyard for now. Believe it or not, I have some good news on the tax front! And no, I’m not running for office...

Taxes are not only a sure thing, they are also scary, boring and intimidating for most. Don’t let this tax season scare you or get you down. If you work from home, here’s some great news: it is no longer just the starving artist who can benefit from working from home. There is a way you can give yourself a little raise. Self employed, employees, and commissioned income earners, get ready to Google the following forms to see what tax breaks you are eligible for.

» T2125 – CALCULATION OF BUSINESS USE OF HOME EXPENSES

This one will guide the self-employed Canadian to deductions at home such as heat, electricity, insurance, maintenance, mortgage interest and property taxes. The rule of thumb is if you need to spend it to make money at home, you can more than likely deduct it. Some larger repairs may have a capital cost eliminate to them. This form will give you details on this and other deductions you are entitled to if you’re self-employed.

DON’T LET ALL THESE FANCY FORMS AND TERMS SCARE YOU. DO A BIT OF HOMEWORK AND TAKE IT TO A PROFESSIONAL IF YOU’RE NOT SURE OR JUST PLAIN CAN’T STAND THE IDEA OF DOING YOUR OWN TAXES. » T777 – STATEMENT OF EMPLOYMENT EXPENSES

This form is for the employee who works from home. It is important to know that it doesn’t matter if you only work from home part of the time – you are still eligible to claim a portion of the time you do work from home.

Employees are eligible to claim items such as heat, electricity, general repairs, condo fees, Internet and work phone. The only expenses you can’t claim as an employee versus self-employed are mortgage interest and property taxes.

An exception is made for commission employees. As an employee, you must have your employer fill out a T2200. This form tells Revenue Canada what the employer’s expectations are for work and expenses from themselves and from yourself as the employee. » GENERAL FACTS ABOUT HOME DEDUCTIONS

The amount of the deduction is calculated based on the amount of space you use in your home for income. Let’s say you have 10 rooms in your home and two are used for work. The pro-rated amount is based on the percentage of the home used for work. In this case, 20 per cent. So, if your deduction total is $10,000 x 20 per cent, it’s a $2,000 deduction off your income for you! It’s important to know that the deduction only applies to income.

If this is the first you are hearing of this but have been working from home for quite some time, don’t fret – you are able to go back to previous years and do a

THERE ARE SO MANY FINANCIAL BENEFITS TO WORKING FROM HOME. YOU’RE ALREADY PAYING MOST OF THESE EXPENSES ANYWAY, AND THE FACT THAT YOU CAN CLAIM A PORTION IS A GREAT BENEFIT.

T1 adjustment to make a claim for the years you missed the boat!

Keep your receipts. If Revenue Canada comes calling, you want to make sure you can prove your expenses that have been claimed.

And finally, don’t let all these fancy forms and terms scare you. Do a bit of homework and take it to a professional if you’re not sure or just plain can’t stand the idea of doing your own taxes.

When in doubt, ask if you’re eligible to claim the deduction. Don’t assume if you don’t know. The money spent for good advice will pay off.

There are so many financial benefits to working from home. You’re already

paying most of these expenses anyway, and the fact that you can claim a portion is a great benefit. Let’s not forget the personal benefits. Nothing is better than working from home in your pajamas. I used to do that all the time. Not as much anymore… darn Skype!

It’s not always about working harder. There’s something to be said for working smarter. So sharpen the pencils, Google it up and give yourself that much-deserved raise!

Smart tips

for sweet dreams

hether you’re a stressed-out insomniac or a sweet dreamer, you could likely use a little more sleep. I’m more on the insomniac side, so while laying in bed thinking I did a little research and found these tips – old and new – that can help us all rest a lot easier.

1. THE MATTRESS

There are two traditional mattress types to choose from: coil or memory foam.

Although metal coil mattresses are still made today, the wires can sometimes lose their shape over time, even to the point of poking through the mattress (which is not how I like to get my acupuncture therapy). Pocket coil mattresses update this system, creating long lasting coils that flex to fit the body.

Memory foam uses modern materials to create a softer, more form-fitting surface, which reacts to your body without wearing out as quickly (although some can trap in heat and moist air). The foam then “remembers” its original shape and snaps back when you get up, ensuring the shape doesn’t sag over time.

My favourite type of mattress is also the newest, and a sort of combination of the other two: a memory foam coil mattress made by Dormeo Octaspring. This mattress has all of the aerating benefits of classic coils, but is made of ultra high-

I ALWAYS STICK WITH NATURAL FABRICS OVER SYNTHETIC, AS THE ORGANIC FIBRES BREATHE AND ALLOW HEAT AND MOISTURE TO ESCAPE, PROMOTING CONSISTENT SLEEP CONDITIONS.

ANY TYPE OF MATTRESS CAN BENEFIT FROM THE EXTRA SHOCK ABSORPTION OF A BOX-SPRING, SO I RECOMMEND GIVING YOURS A CHECK-UP WITH EVERY NEW MATTRESS, AS A WORN OUT ONE WON’T PROVIDE NEARLY AS MUCH SUPPORT. tech foams that support each part of your body perfectly, so you get the best of both worlds.

Once you have the perfect mattress, make sure to dress it well: thread counts are the first thing many shoppers look at when buying bedding, but what’s truly most important is feeling the fabric for yourself to see how you respond to it. I always stick with natural fabrics over synthetic, as the organic fibres breathe and allow heat and moisture to escape, promoting consistent sleep conditions.

2. THE SUPPORT SYSTEM

When selecting a frame, you have to balance function and style. Platform beds with minimal, block forms are trendy right now, and the look is very clean and clutter-free which can lower stress (as they say, a tidy home is a tidy mind). However, a more open bed frame will let air pass under the mattress, which allows for even better ventilation if you tend to get hot in the middle of the night.

Any type of mattress can benefit from the extra shock absorption of a box-spring, so I recommend giving yours a check-up with every new mattress, as a worn out one won’t provide nearly as much support.

to mean “boring.” In the dark, colours in related tones (i.e., saturation levels) will tend to blend out, so you can still mix together a rich invigorating palette to wake up to and let all that energy disappear at night with the flick of a switch.

Fibre isn’t just good for your diet, it’s good for your sleep! Hardwood is a very popular flooring choice this century, but in the bedroom some carpeting (or an area rug) and lush drapery will bring in both softness and some sound absorption; if you usually go minimal, here’s the place to go a little more luxe.

4. THE DETAILS

Even if you aren’t afraid of the dark, small amounts of light can upset your natural sleep patterns, disrupting melatonin production and interrupting deep slumber.

Consider giving your curtains a blackout lining and choose electronic accessories that don’t cast light (such as the power indicator on a phone charger or an LED alarm clock). Experts suggest that being able to see the time constantly ticking away at night only stresses you out, so choose a clock that is only lit when you really want it (such a button-activated digital clock or an old-school mechanical model).

Now that the space is nice and cave-like, position your bed away from the room’s entrance to put your protective animal instincts at ease, and remove any furniture (such as a desk) that turns your sleep space into a work space. Having your work and rest zones physically distinct is an important step to keeping them mentally separated.

If you follow the above four points, your brain will have nothing to worry about at night – except what to dream about next.

3. THE SPACE

You may have heard that one of the best ways to bring a sense of rest to your sleeping space is by calming down your colour scheme. This is true; cool tones, from greens to blues to purples, are less energizing and can help you relax.

However, “less energizing” doesn’t have
