Attention home owners, the Government of Canada is offering a very interesting incentive for home renovation. You can receive up to $1350 back as a tax credit for the 2009 tax year when you pay for renovation goods or services for an eligible dwelling. Here's a sample of qualifying expenditures straight from the Canadian Revenue Agency website:
If you're considering this, an interesting place to start is Home Depot. Until April 12, 2009, if you spend $1000 to $10,000 on products and services that may qualify for the Home Renovation Tax Credit and pay with your Home Depot Consumer Credit Card, you can receive 10% back in Home Depot gift cards. Put that together with the HRTC and you might be looking at some big savings! You'll find more details on the Home Depot website (top of the page).
