Energy Star tax credit for Ontario

A temporary retail tax exemption begins today for Ontario residents who purchase certain Energy Star household products (refrigerators, dishwashers, washing machines, freezers, etc.). The Ontario provincial sales tax will be waived on products purchased, rented, or leased before July 20, 2008.

This one-year tax break is expected to save us, consumers, a total of $51-milion dollars. I think it’s a great program, both saving us money and helping the environment. Two thumbs up for Finance Minister Greg Sorbara! The products will be consuming less energy and helping us fight a challenging battle against global warming.
