Is your mortgage tax deductible? Fraser Smith, Biography Fraser Smith is a financial strategist residing in Sidney, B.C. on Vancouver Island. After more than 20 years as a financial planner, he retired to write his book, The Smith Manoeuvre, which describes a ground-breaking financial strategy that legally allows Canadians to make the interest expense of their house mortgage tax deductible. The book has become a national best seller having exceeded 53,000 copies by the end of 2010. The author continues to keep busy writing, speaking and conducting public seminars across Canada. The Smith Manoeuvre is a debt conversion strategy, not a leveraging strategy. It is not necessary to increase debt to enjoy the benefits of The Smith Manoeuvre. Users will simultaneously accrue several benefits at no material cost, without increasing their debt. These benefits include tax refund cheques, reduced amortization and a burgeoning, free-and-clear pension portfolio. The technique is egalitarian as well as devoid of costs – ordinary Canadians may participate. The author stresses the importance of retaining a financial planner to ensure maximization of the opportunities to improve the family net worth.
