Quebec extends green reno credit

QUEBEC CITY — The provincial budget submitted this week to Quebec’s National Assembly includes a one-year extension of the RénoVert tax credit. Homeowners who spend more than $2,500 on sustainable renovations are eligible for a 20% rebate capped at $10,000. Expenditures must be made by January 1, 2019, to qualify. In unveiling the budget, finance minister Carlos Leitão also announced an $8 million subsidy to support businesses in making renovations to improve accessibility for those with physical disabilities.
