Accessibility and multigenerational renovations in the Northwest Territories
The first tip comes from the program’s own steps. Each program’s rules come first.
- How MHRTC works in N.W.T.
- Keep all invoices and proof of payment for the renovation. Calculate the credit on Schedule 12 when you file for the year the renovation was completed.
- These are tax credits
- Most accessibility support in Canada comes as tax credits claimed on your return, not rebates paid up front.
- Keep every receipt
- Keep receipts and contractor invoices that show the work and the address, in case the Canada Revenue Agency asks.
- Check who qualifies
- Eligibility is usually tied to a family member who is 65 or older or eligible for the disability tax credit.
