    Hi there. I am wanting to update my house with some energy efficient items This websits say’s that you can get a tax exemption on insulating materials. I am wondering how you get the tax exemption when you automatically make a purchase. Would I receive a card of some sort or do I show my receipts to the government?

    This is my first house and not really sure on how to go about making it more energy efficient.

    You ask for the exemption at the cashier or they should already know that the listed items above are PST exempt.

    Our 35 year old home has R18 in the attic, we would like to upgrade to R40, do we have to pay tax on blown in material?

    what if a supplier is interested in the energy efficient materials? i mean like a company not an individual?
    would the rebate still be at the same rate?
