Landscaping does qualify for The Home Renovation Tax Credit!
Amsonia Landscaping is advising to take advantage of the Home Renovation Tax Credit (HRTC).
The most effective way to determine the items that qualify for the HRTC is using the statement issued by the federal government: “Any improvement or renovation of an enduring nature to dwelling or the land on which the dwelling sits.” Amsonia Landscaping interprets this to mean that the following are considered eligible:
- new sod
- trees
- shrubs
- perennials
- interlocking driveways
- decks
- retaining walls
- pathways
- irrigation and lighting systems
- ponds and waterfalls
- garden sheds
- professional landscape design services
- professional landscape contractor services
Listed as not eligible: annuals, lawn and garden maintenance, tree maintenance, snow removal, hanging baskets, containers and planters.
The material purchased must be of an “enduring installation into the land.”
Eligible home renovation expenditures for work performed, or goods acquired, are those between Jan. 27, 2009 and Feb. 1, 2010. A 15 per cent credit may be claimed on the portion of eligible expenditures exceeding $1,000, but not more than $10,000, meaning that the maximum tax credit is $1,350.
Properties eligible for the HRTC include houses, cottages and condominium units that are owned for personal use. Expenses such as labour, building permits, equipment rentals, professional services and incidentals are also eligible. Do-it-yourself labour is not eligible for the tax credit. Receipts will be needed, but consumers are not required to submit the receipts with their income tax file to Revenue Canada. The receipts will be needed if Revenue Canada requires confirmation of those projects.

Yes it is tough and there will definitely be less work out there. But I believe that if you do good work for people, make people happy and give them what they want, than they will appreciate it and refer you to their friends. So basically what I mean is that businesses and/or services that do good work, will have work and that is what I stand by and what helps me move forward.
