Manitoba Cuts Insulation Tax Relief and Expands Solar Tax Credit
Manitoba moves to end insulation materials tax relief for residential non commercial structures as part of the budget. Finance minister Saul Miller says the move aligns with a national energy conservation plan and orders a price monitor for insulation. A 20 year loan program up to 31000 will aid homeowners with low payments under Manitoba Hydro. Winnipeg Hydro may offer similar plans. A system to offset property tax gains from solar heating equipment is introduced, with municipalities reimbursed for mill rate losses. Total cost is about 300000 for the year.
