Multigenerational home renovation tax credit (MHRTC)
What’s happening now (Jan. 2025)
The Multigenerational Home Renovation Tax Credit (MHRTC) is a refundable tax credit that can be claimed on your income tax and benefit return.
If you are eligible, you can claim this credit for certain renovation expenses to create a self-contained secondary unit. The secondary unit must allow a senior or an adult who is eligible for the disability tax credit to live with a qualifying relative.
You can claim up to $50,000 in qualifying expenses for each completed renovation that meets the criteria. The tax credit is 15% of your costs, up to a maximum of $7,500, for each claim you are eligible to make.
