  • Solar Water Heater Tax Credit (household)

    Board of Inland Revenue (Inland Revenue Division); policy listed by the Ministry of Energy and Energy Industries

    MEEI: an individual who buys solar water heating equipment for household use gets a tax credit of 25% of the cost of the equipment up to a maximum of ten thousand dollars (maximum tax credit of TT$2,500.00). The IRD table (income years 2018–2023) says: '25% of the total cost up to a maximum tax credit of $10 000'.

    Individuals who buy and install solar water heating equipment for household use. Claimed on the individual income tax return with the receipt for purchase and installation.

    active-unconfirmed — Official source states it, but the page is older or undated; confirm it is still current

    The two official sources disagree on the cap. MEEI says the maximum credit is TT$2,500 (25% of up to TT$10,000 spent). IRD says the maximum credit is $10,000. The IRD table only covers income years up to 2023. Show both wordings and do not compute a value.
