In other words, if they want to encourage something they will reduce taxes associated with that behaviour (like saving for retirement).

The first $200 dollars receives a tax credit which is basically equivalent to the lowest combined marginal tax bracket in your province. Every dollar above that limit will generate a credit which is basically equivalent to the highest combined tax bracket for your province. There is a limit as to how much you can claim which is 75% of your net income for a given year except in the year of your death and the year before your death in which case it is 100% of your net income.Frugal Trader from T...
Do Not Forget To Apply for Your Energy Tax Credit
2008-02-28 01:54:00 Just as I was starting to work on my income taxes, this reminder arrived from my friend and fellow energy engineer, Jim Cartwright. The Tax Credit that he speaks of is a US home energy efficiency improvement tax credit program that ended at the end of calendar year 2007. To get the tax credit you had to have spent the money and installed the energy saving hardware by December 31, 2007. Here is his note: Here is a way to save some money on your taxes along with the money you save on your home energy bills. Did you add insulation in your house last year? How about new storm doors, or new windows? Maybe a new furnace or geothermal heat pump? If so, you can reduce the amount of taxes you owe or get more money back from Uncle Sam. At my house, we put in two new energy efficient patio doors (both Pella); two new storm doors, and a 97% efficient propane furnace. The new doors have really helped cut down the cold air that was coming in. All of these improvements are a...

Tax Credits: Irresponsible Way to Spend Hawaii Taxpayer Dollars
2007-06-26 14:30:00 By Lowell L. Kalapa,..and since credits tend to specify an activity, there is no assurance that the activity will be of a quality that the state would otherwise required.For example, one of the proposals floated for the past few sessions would have handed out $1,000 to caregivers of elderly family members.With all that we hear and read about how family members have to give up their jobs and family time to care for elderly relatives, it is easy to empathize with the idea of compensating these caregivers. But is a tax credit the proper response?The flip side of this concern is that in almost all cases of elder abuse, the perpetrator is a relative. So handing out a tax credit to someone who is providing care to an elderly relative does not assure that the elder is receiving quality care - just because the caregiver is a relative.If there is no oversight or way of determining the quality of care, taxpayers may be subsidizing a caregiver who is abusive.Abridged >>
