Home Renovation Tax Credit Information
Homeowners Resource Directory
Home Renovation Tax Credit (HRTC) Q & A’s By now there probably isn’t a home owner in Canada that hasn’t heard of the Home Renovation Tax Credit (HRTC). The HRTC was created in an effort to stimulate the economy and create new jobs in the house and home sector. This 15% credit is on renovation expenses ranging between $1,000 and $10,000 per household. What exactly does the tax credit cover? To remove the guesswork, we’ve listed some of the most common home renovations and home improvements below. The Home Renovation Tax Credit (HRTC) covers: • painting (inside or outside) • renovations of kitchen, bathroom, basement • building a fence or deck • new carpets or hardwood floors • new furnaces The Home Renovation Tax Credit (HRTC) does NOT cover: • purchase of furniture • purchase of appliances • purchase of electronics • construction equipment • costs of maintenance and routine repairs The federal government predicts that around 4.6 million households will take advantage of this tax credit. This program is available as of January 27th 2009, but is only valid through January 31st 2010. Some common home renovation projects for 2009 which would qualify for the HRTC: Windows & Doors Energy efficiency is the theme in 2009; as we all know, conserving energy is a good way to save money and help the envi-
ronment. Installing new windows and doors will help insulate your home properly, thus reducing energy wastes and costs. Kitchen Renovations Renovating your kitchen is one the best ways to increase the value of your home. The kitchen is a focal point in most homes, and making simple renovations such as installing custom cabinets, or opting for granite or marble countertops, can create a whole new feel and ambience immediately. Heating & Cooling Is your home heated with gas? Electricity? Do you have central air conditioning or multiple air conditioning units? Taking advantage of the HRTC can offset the additional expense for more energy efficient heating and cooling solutions. Bathroom Remodelling Your bathroom may be in need for an upgrade. Consider remodelling it by adding a new bathtub, sink, toilet or countertop. You may also want to go the extra mile by adding heated floors or redoing your bathroom tiles. Going Green Green technology is the buzz out there with more and more companies offering green-related products and services. In addition to saving energy, you can go green by using eco-friendly products. When buying supplies for your home renovation project, consider non-toxic and natural paints, floor treatments and renovation materials.
What is the Home Renovation Tax Credit (HRTC)? The proposed HRTC is a non-refundable tax credit for work performed or goods acquired in respect of an eligible dwelling. What is meant by eligible dwelling? An eligible dwelling is a housing unit that is eligible to be an individual’s principal residence or that of one or more of their family members, at any time between January 27, 2009 and February 1, 2010. In general, a housing unit is considered eligible to be an individual’s principal residence where it is owned by the individual and ordinarily inhabited by the individual, the individual’s spouse or common-law partner, or their children. This means that any dwelling that you own and use personally could qualify, including your home or your cottage. What is the eligibility period? The credit will be based on eligible expenditures for work performed or goods acquired after January 27, 2009, and before February 1, 2010. Expenditures incurred pursuant to an agreement that was entered into before January 28, 2009, will not be eligible for the credit. Who will be eligible for the credit? Eligibility for the HRTC will be family based. A family will generally be considered to consist of an individual or an individual and his or her spouse or common-law partner, including children who will be under 18 years of age, at the end of 2009. A family will be allowed a single credit that may be shared within the family. If two or more families share the ownership of an eligible dwelling, each family will be eligible for their own separate credit (i.e. each up to $1,350) that will be calculated on their respective eligible expenditures. How will the credit be calculated? The credit will only be available for the 2009 tax year and applies to eligible expenditures of more than $1,000, but not more than $10,000, resulting in a maximum credit of $1,350 ($9,000 x 15%). What are eligible expenditures? To be eligible, expenditures incurred in relation to a renovation or alteration to an eligible dwelling (or the land that forms part of the eligible dwelling) must be of an enduring nature and integral to the dwelling, and includes the cost of labour and professional services, building materials, fixtures, rentals, and permits. Eligible expenditures must be supported by acceptable documentation. What does the CRA consider to be acceptable documentation? Documentation, such as agreements, invoices, and receipts, must clearly identify the type and quantity of goods purchased or services provided, including, but not limited to, the following information: * information that clearly identifies the vendor/contractor, their business address and, if applicable, the GST/HST registration number; * a description of the goods and the date when the goods were purchased; * The date when the goods were delivered (keep your delivery slip as proof) and/or when the work or services were performed; * A description of the work performed including the address where the work was performed; * the amount of the invoice; and * proof of payment. Receipts or invoices must indicate paid in full or be accompanied by other proof of payment, such as a credit card slip or cancelled cheque. For more information about the Home Renovation Tax Credit (HRTC), visit the Canada Revenue Agency site at www.cra.gc.ca.

For Your Home Furniture “Where it’s all about you!”
At ‘For Your Home Furniture’ they aim to help people furnish their homes affordably without the sacrifice of style. “We like to call it ‘Affordable Luxury’”, says co-owner Deena DeVito-Carl. Deena became involved with “For Your Home Furniture” as an Interior Decorator. Furniture is naturally an important part of the decorating process and Deena was frustrated by the lack of affordable yet stylish furnishings available mid island, thus her natural foray into the furniture business began. Wanting a true “furniture expert” to 16 6
help supplement her decorating expertise Deena teamed up with local furniture guru Gary Mitteregger as Sales Manager. Gary has been in the furniture business for close to 20 years learning the ropes from none other than Rob Fletcher of Fletcher’s Fine Furnishings. Many people assume Gary is the co-owner; probably due to the fact that he puts in so many hours (he loves his job!), but in fact that title falls upon Gary’s wife Heather. Heather brings over 30 years of retail experience to the table and being island born and raised keeps her
community minded. Kim McGorman rounds out the staff as the Office / Sales Assistant. Kim has many administrative skills and brings her knowledge of homes through the experience of being a realtor for many years. “We like to call ourselves your ‘Home Team’”, says Gary, “All of us offer a variety of skills to make the perfect home package”. Deena offers complimentary decorating consultations to help decide where it will be best to spend your money (She can also help you with other home services for a one
Your “Home Team” Deena, Kim, Heather, and Gary.
stop shop). Gary knows furniture. You can ask him anything to do with furniture and he will give you his honest opinion and some great knowledge too. Heather and Kim are true customer service specialists. Friendly, helpful & sincere…they are bringing customer service back to retail! This ‘Home Team’
can help you with many options to enhance your new or existing decor. Despite their relatively small show room, they have access to many lines and a broad range of products. For more information on any of your furniture needs visit them at #5 - 4890 Rutherford Road. Advertorial
