Between getting married and working on an article about how to get married without breaking the bank, I've missed the past couple of deadlines. Bad Neil Bad! So tonight, since my wedding article isn't ready yet, a quick one about this year's one-time only home renovation tax credit.

Most Canadians have probably encountered some ad or another trumpeting this tax credit. The basics of it are that any renovation work done on your home qualifies for a federal tax credit - this could bring up to $1350 back into your pocket. I was looking into this as it may be an incentive to get my act together on replacing some doors and window coverings around the house that I've been thinking need to be done.
