Ontario Liberals present home renovation tax credit for seniors



Ontario Liberals seek to help seniors who choose to remain in their homes by helping with the cost of renovations that make it safer and easier to live independently. Here's what you need to know:

  • Helping our seniors enjoy a better quality of life makes it easier for them to remain active, engaged and contributing to our province.
  • The credit — which is worth 15 per cent of up to $10,000 in renovations per year — can be claimed by seniors on their Canadian tax software for their own home or by a family member who is providing a home for an elderly relative.
  • The credit covers changes that allow seniors to continue living independently, and will create jobs for local small renovation businesses.
  • By helping seniors remain in their own home, we're helping elderly people today and we're preparing to deal with the aging of our population in the future — Ontario Liberals are the only party addressing this demographic challenge.

The Hudak PCs have no plan for improving home care — and they have $14 billion in unfunded giveaways and tax cuts that would mean deep cuts to hospitals and schools. The Horwath NDP are way behind on home care, pledging only to conduct a "comprehensive review" — not take action. Only Ontario Liberals have a plan for ensuring that today's seniors — and the coming generation of baby-boomer seniors — will be the healthiest and most-engaged seniors in Ontario's history.
