Budget 2009 The home reno tax credit: what you can do? Last Updated: Thursday, January 29, 2009 | 3:04 PM ET CBC News This was going to be a year of hunkering down and putting off fixing up the old homestead, what with economic turmoil gripping not just the country but the entire world. But since the federal government revealed the Home Renovation Tax Credit in its budget on Jan. 27, 2009, you're starting to think that maybe you might be able to manage a couple of small jobs. After all, if you keep the renovation budget to $10,000, you'll get $1,350 back — a saving of 13.5 per cent. The tax credit kicks in on expenditures over $1,000, and you won't get any tax relief for what you spend over $10,000. So your tax savings on a $20,000 job will still be $1,350 — or a saving of 6.75 per cent. The variety of expenditures that qualify for the tax credit is wide. Among them: Renovating your kitchen, bathroom or basement. Painting your house. Installing new carpeting or flooring. Replacing your heating/air conditioning system. Upgrading the insulation in your home.Resurfacing your driveway or replacing your lawn with new sod. Just about any job that improves your home or cottage — or any combination of jobs that improves either or both — qualifies for the credit. Buying furniture, a big-screen TV, cleaning your carpets, buying tools or performing regular maintenance on your home won't get you the tax credit, however. The Home Renovation Tax Credit can be coupled with other government programs that put money back into your pocket when you renovate your home. For instance, making your home more energy-efficient can qualify you for grants of up to $5,000 under the ecoENERGY Retrofit Program. You will still be able to claim the Home Renovation Tax Credit. The same applies for eligible expenditures that are claimed under the Medical Expense Tax Credit. While doing the work yourself will give you the most bang for your buck, jobs that you pay a contractor to do also qualify. Expenses such as labour, building permits, equipment rentals, professional services and incidentals are also eligible. Municipalities regulate building permits, so you should check with your local officials before you begin your job. If your renovation involves structural changes to your home or electrical work, you will most likely need a permit. One of the major goals of the program, which is expected to cost the government $3 billion, is to stimulate local economies. Most of the material you buy to fix up your home is likely made in Canada and sold at your local hardware store (although it's as likely to be a U.S.-owned big-box store as a Canadian-owned big-box outlet). |

不但算，而且如果你换的是energy efficient windows，那你不但会得到这个HRTC，还会得到最多$5000 的ecoENERGY回报（大约每个window$60）。就是说，如果你安15个新节能窗花了$10000，你除了会得到$1350的HRTC以外，还会得到 $60 x 15 = $900 的ecoENERGY回报。那么你其实只花了$10000 - $1350 - $900 = $7750。 http://finance.sympatico.msn.ca/Inve...entid=17402069 |
