ARE THERE ANY TAX CREDITS THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO TAXPAYERS?

HOMEOWNERS AFFORDABILITY TAX CREDIT (HATC)

Properties currently receiving the EPTCA (Education Property Tax Credit Advance) on their property tax statement should automatically be moved over to HATC if there is no ownership change. New home owners will have to designate their principal residence with their municipality in order to have the HATC applied to their property tax statement. 

HATC form

Note that condominium owners whose properties are individually assessed can receive the HATC on their property tax statement like other homeowners. Owners who live in an assessed property that contains more than one dwelling unit (duplex, triplex, etc.) cannot receive the HATC on their property tax statement but can claim the HATC on their income tax return.
