Energy efficient front window

[Nickporr77]

Hi, we purchased a new front window in June 2024. The company gave us one year to pay in full. We have not paid anything yet towards the window but we will this year. My question is can I claim the amount for the window installed in 2024 even though I didn’t pay anything towards it that year?

It depends.  If it is a loan, credit line or a credit card it is considered as paid on the date you signed the documents. If this is the case you can take the credit in 2024.
