Great news!  Now there is even more reason and benefit to purchasing any of the TRC Series of products for your home.  Any TRC SOLO, TRC TWIN, and TRC TRIO purchase is eligible to be claimed towards the Home Renovation Tax Credit in Canada for 2009.

You can even claim the installation services.

The products and services qualify under the following criteria:

1. - an alteration to homes or properties that are enduring in nature.
   

2. - is an integral part of your home or property, by nature of the permanent attachment to the downspout.
   

3. - is considered an irrigation system
   

The Rain Collector completely qualifies for this tax credit by the very definition of  “an integral part or your home”.  No open-top barrel system, can make this claim since there is no direct permanent attachment to the house.  However, The Rain Collector does attach permanently by means of its diverter system in the downspout.  This makes the system an integral water harvesting and supply system for the home.

To claim, it is easy.  Just save up your receipts and claim an amount on your 2009 Income Tax return.  For more information please visit the CRA website Fact Sheet at:
