Rénovert, the new tax credit

March 31, 2016

Quebec has introduced a new, temporary tax credit to which you may be entitled (in the production of your tax return) if you live in Quebec as of December 31st, 2016. The Rénovert tax credit is set up for the implementation of eco-responsible renovation works admitted in respect of an eligible dwelling that you may own or co-own. You may also qualify for this tax credit for 2017 if you live in Quebec as of December 31st, 2017.

Conditions

In order to benefit from this tax credit, you should, among other things, get your work qualified by a certified contractor, in compliance with an agreement set up after March 17th, 2016 and before April 1st, 2017, the eco-responsible renovation works admitted for your principal residence, or your habitable cottage you normally live in during the year.

Obviously, several conditions must be filled out in order to benefit from this tax credit. You will find these conditions on the website of Revenu Québec.
