Although tax season is now over for this year, please remember to keep next year's taxes in mind when you are moving this year.
Did you know that many moving expenses can be tax deductible? It's important to keep your receipts! Students, employees and (in some cases) employed-working-at-home may be eligible to claim a portion of travel expenses, transportation costs, legal fees, fees associated with selling your residence and some incidental costs associated with the sale of your home/moving.
Please review this great article on Sutton.com. It is a helpful guide as to the details of who is eligible and what, specifically, may be tax deductible. Please remember it is important to always consult a certified accountant for the most current Revenue Canada guidelines around this or any other possible tax exemption.
Every little bit helps!
The Drip Irrigation Solution
Your home's lawn and garden are one of the first things a potential buyer sees when they pull up to your property. If listing your home is on the agenda this year, now is a great time to do some landscaping maintenance. Colourful flowers, lush lawns... they take some commitment but the return is very worth it. Plus, you will get to enjoy a beautiful backyard!
As you know, I'm a big fan of supporting green alternatives. This article posted on Sutton.com explains the benefits of using a drip irrigation system for your lawn and garden, a great way to ensure efficient watering practices. Sprinkler irrigation systems can water at a rate of 4 litres per minute, while a drip irrigation system may release only 4 litres per hour. Now that is a green alternative! Do you have any green gardening alternatives to share? I would love to hear them. Happy landscaping! |
