A rebate is mainly used in advertising as an incentive to woe an individual to a given product. It is an amount of money which is reduced from the initial cost, returned or refunded incase the payment was already previously made. Governments also use tax rebates to attract citizens towards more utilization of given products. A tax rebate is thus an amount of money one is exempted from paying as tax and or, refunded to him or her after payment is made.

As relates to a tax rebate for a new roof, there are tax rebates for such. However, these rebates are offered as per category and the products used for the roof. For instance, under the U.S Environmental Protection Agency, the US department of energy offers incentives for customers who  buy energy efficient products. These products are grouped in categories such as appliances, fans, heating and cooling equipment, home electronics, home envelope, lighting products, office equipment and residential water heaters.

Roof products fall under the home envelop category. In this section, products for insulation, roof products, windows, doors and skylights serve as entitlements to a rebate. However, this are offered given by certain organizations and the various states may or may not be members of such organizations. It is therefore imperative to find out whether a given state falls under the said category to determine whether you qualify for a rebate.

For one to get tax rebates therefore, the products used should be those that attract tax refunds. Among such products, include those that provide more environmental friendly management systems as well as reducing emissions and saving energy. The size and the magnitude of given products or projects may also determine whether a rebate may be attracted. For instance, large projects that aim at tapping solar energy may stand a chance to attract a tax rebate as compared to single house roofing. This relates to the given state’s rules that guide rebates and tax reductions as it matches with the challenges face by the individual state.
