A NEW PROGRAMME announced by Michael Noonan as part of Budget 2014 will give a tax incentive to householders having work done on their home.
Aimed at getting people to spend money and discouraging cowboy builders, it will allow a tax credit of 13.5 per cent for money spent on renovations priced between €5,000 and €30,000.
Minister Noonan said work like window-fitting, plumbing, tiling and plastering would all qualify under the scheme.
Today we ask: Will the scheme encourage you to invest in your home?
