First time home buyers amount

Can you claim an amount for the first time home buyers if you closed in Jan/2017?

First time home buyers amount

You or your spouse's name must be in the land registry to qualify. So if you close in January, likely your name will only be registered at that time.

As such, you will need to wait for your 2017 tax return to claim the amount.
