HRTC win!

I received a letter from my condo management yesterday that the I can claim a share of the building's expenditure on maintenance and renovations as HRTC. I had no idea. Our share is around $1,400. Yay!

Re: HRTC win!

  • Are you serious? We paid $13k in 2009 to our condo association in special assessments for repairs/upgrades. I wonder if a portion of that is eligible? Off I go to check CRA...
  • It might very well be! Check with your board of directors or condo management too, if you can. I think the amount was based on work actually done, not condo fees paid... but there's always something being done in condo buildings.

    I believe/assume that the letter my condo management sent me, stating the amount I qualify for, serves the same purpose as receipts.

  • Woo hoo!!! That's awesome news Smile
  • Awesome!  We couldn't because it was a special assesment to get the roof fund in order but they didn't actually purchase the roof, it's sitting in an account.  Boo.  Hanging on to the reciept just in caseies :)
  • I'm not thinking of the condo fees, I am thinking that the special assessments to repair the common and personal areas of the complex should qualify. I've got hubby on it! lol
  • Just to let you know - basically you get no credit at all for the first $1,000 of expenditures - so unless you spent additional funds on your own, your credit is only going to bet 15% of $400 or $60.  Better than nothing, a decent dinner out at least.

    This is ok by me...we spent just over $13K! Then we moved.... oy oy oy.

    You're kind of a Debbie Downer, aren't you. Stick out tongue

  • Sorry!  I wasn't trying to be a downer!  I just didn't want you to get your hopes up of a big refund because of this!  A lot of people don't understand the mechanics of the credit, and don't realized you don't get any credit for the first $1,000.

     Like I said, something is better than nothing!  LOL

    We got a similar letter from our condo company, our share was only a bit over $400 though.
