A Home Equity Line of Credit(often called HELOC, pronounced HEE-lock) is a loan in which the lender agrees to lend a maximum amount within an agreed period(called a term), where the collateral is the borrower's equity in his/her house. A HELOC differs from a conventional home equity loan in that the borrower is not advanced the entire sum up front, but uses the line of credit to borrow sums that total no more than the amount, similar to a credit card. 4, record 2, English, - home%20equity%20line%20of%20credit

This credit, which is equal to 17 per cent of the "age amount"(currently $3, 482), translates into a maximum federal tax reduction of about $610 a year. In most provinces, the credit also reduces provincial taxes, resulting in a maximum combined federal-provincial tax reduction of about $950. The credit is transferable to a spouse, so a taxable senior who has a qualifying spouse with little or no income may claim a second age credit. The age credit is subject to an income test that targets the assistance to seniors with low or modest incomes. 2, record 5, English, - age%20credit

Ce crédit, qui est égal à 17 p. 100 du «montant en raison de l'âge» (actuellement 3 482 $), se traduit par une diminution maximale d'impôt fédéral d'environ 610 $ par an. Dans la plupart des provinces, le crédit diminue également les impôts provinciaux, ce qui donne une réduction combinée maximale d'impôt fédéral et provincial d'environ 950 $. Le crédit est transférable au conjoint, de sorte qu'une personne âgée imposable qui a un conjoint admissible dont le revenu est nul ou faible peut demander un second crédit en raison de l'âge. Celui-ci est assujetti à un critère de revenu de sorte que l'aide bénéficie aux personnes âgées dont le revenu est faible ou modique. 2, record 5, French, - cr%C3%A9dit%20en%20raison%20de%20l%27%C3%A2ge
