Tax Credit for Eco-Friendly Home Renovation
A temporary refundable tax credit for eco-friendly home renovation has been introduced.
The tax credit is intended for individuals who have a qualified contractor carry out eco-friendly renovation work on their principal place of residence or cottage under a contract entered into after October 7, 2013, and before November 1, 2014.
The amount of the tax credit corresponds to 20% of the portion of an individual's eligible expenses that exceeds $2,500, up to a maximum tax credit of $10,000 per eligible dwelling.
To qualify for the tax credit, the work must have a positive environmental impact or improve the dwelling's energy efficiency, and the materials and appliances involved must meet recognized environmental and energy standards.
The contractor that carried out the work must certify that those standards are met by completing and signing form TP-1029.ER.A-V, Certificate of Compliance With Energy and Environmental Standards, and giving it to the individual for whom the work was done.
Here is an example of eco-friendly renovation:
Construction, renovation, modification or rebuilding of a system for the discharge, collection and disposal of waste water, toilet effluents or grey water in accordance with the Regulation respecting waste water disposal systems for isolated dwellings.(2)
