Revenue Canada isn’t exactly advertising it widely, but the Home Renovation Tax Credit can be claimed against landscaping expenses. The catch? The 15 per cent credit may only be claimed on costs over $1,000 and it is limited to a maximum of $10,000. Since Rev Can’s offer ends 10 February next year, it effectively limits landscaping to the present season over most of the country. Still, 15 per cent could equal as much as $1,500, making for good reason to upgrade the home surroundings.
