Vacation Savings Start Here with the Ontario Staycation Tax Credit

Summerhill Resorts offers families a variety of Ontario staycation getaway options throughout Ontario, in popular cottage area destinations such as Haldimand County, Ottawa and Frontenac Regions, Rideau Lakes and Kawartha Lakes.

With the new Ontario Staycation Tax Credit, families can take advantage of refunds up to $400 when they claim their vacation accommodation expenses as a tax credit on their 2022 return.

What is the Ontario Staycation Tax Credit?

The Ontario Staycation Tax Credit is a temporary personal income tax credit for eligible Ontario residents to claim 20% of qualified accommodation expenses for vacations taken during the 2022 calendar year, within Ontario. Vacationers can claim tax credits up to a maximum of $1,000 for an individual and $2,000 for a family, resulting in refunds of up $200 (for an individual) or $400 (for a family).

It’s a win-win initiative, providing a welcome boost to a hospitality sector deeply impacted by two years of pandemic, while helping Ontario families get more for their vacation buck.

Do I Qualify for the Ontario Staycation Tax Credit if I book at Summerhill Resorts?

Are you booking a rental vacation at an Ontario Summerhill resort during the 2022 cottage, RV and camping season? If so, then yes! You can claim the Ontario Staycation Tax Credit for accommodation expenses for a leisure stay of less than a month, at any of our rental resorts. 

How Do I Claim the Ontario Staycation Tax Credit?

According to the Ontario Government, you simply claim the credit on your personal Income Tax and Benefit Return for 2022. You must keep on file a detailed receipt that includes the following details:

  • the location of the accommodation
  • the amount that can reasonably be considered to be for the accommodation portion of a stay
  • the GST/HST paid
  • the date of the stay
