Home Renovation Tax Credit

July 1, 2025

It's July 1... are you sitting on the back deck noticing the wood rot, considering that there's only half a year left to qualify for this $1,350 federal tax credit?

Spend over $1,000 and up to $10,000 to get the full credit and you have until February 1, 2026 to spend your money on legitimate expenditures paid to legitimate renovators who are registered for the GST/HST.

Double up on medical expenses and home reno credits for qualifying renovations. Check out S. 118.2(2)(l.2) or Regulation 5700 for renovations and installations that might qualify.

Allocate your expenditures between personal use property and home office or rental suite - remember that only the personal use portion qualifies for the HRTC

Play it safe, register for WCB, purchase building permits, hire licenced plumbers, builders and electricians. It will pay off, not only in safety, saleability and insurability, but tax credits are in your future.
