Drinking Water Credit: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how to claim a tax credit for installing water filtration systems to reduce plastic waste in your home.

The Drinking Water Credit is a tax incentive designed to help you reduce plastic waste by installing water filtration systems in your home.

Who it's for

This credit is available to all residents.

What you get

You can receive a tax credit to help cover the costs of installing water filtration systems. This is intended to encourage households to use filtered tap water rather than bottled water.

What it costs you

There is no direct fee to apply, but you must keep your official invoice and proof of payment for your records to claim the benefit.

The catch to know

The scheme operates on a first-come, first-served basis. There is an annual budget cap, so funds may run out before the end of the year.

How to apply

  1. Purchase and install your water filtration system.
  2. Ensure you receive an official invoice for the installation.
  3. Keep a record of your proof of payment.
  4. Submit your documentation through the official tax channels to claim your credit.
