 Canada's Economic Action Plan - The Home Renovation Tax Credit Home renovations are smart investments in the long term value of a home and also create economic activity by increasing the demand for labour, building materials and other goods. Renovations can also reduce energy consumption and the long-term cost of owning a home. To provide some $3 billion of much-needed fiscal stimulus and encourage investments in Canada’s housing stock, Budget 2009 proposes to implement a temporary Home Renovation Tax Credit (HRTC).  Home Renovation Tax Assistance Program Winnipeg's City Council has approved By-law 83/2009 on May 27, 2009 to "… establish a program of real property tax credits in the year 2009 to encourage and assist in the renovation of residential premises …" The 2009 program has limited funding for tax credits and operates on a first-come, first-serve basis. |
