Tax Information

Federal clean-technology incentive timing

Canadian federal incentives for qualifying clean technology property follow legislated phase-down schedules. Benefits depend on eligibility, corporate structure, labour requirements, and the year property becomes “available for use” under the Income Tax Act — not when you order or install glass.

Provincial and municipal programs

Provincial and municipal clean-energy programs vary by territory — verify eligibility, intake windows, and stacking rules with your jurisdiction before relying on them in pro formas.

How Power Glass models incentives

Power Glass applies the same illustrative formulas on the homepage calculator and solutions case studies. They are planning tools — not tax filings.

• Federal Clean Technology ITC is modeled at 30% of total BIPV system cost. CRA's statutory rate depends on the year property becomes available for use (30% through 2033, 15% in 2034, unavailable after 2034 for eligible property).
• CCA is modeled as a simplified 25% tax-shield on net undepreciated capital cost (UCC) after the ITC is applied — i.e. (total BIPV cost − ITC) × 25%. This does not replicate CRA's phased enhanced first-year allowance percentages for Class 43.1 / 43.2 property.
• Whether BIPV facade systems qualify as clean technology property under the Income Tax Act must be confirmed for each project with qualified tax counsel. Labour requirements, entity type, and integration with other credits may apply.
