Expert Assistance for Your HST Rebate Claims

Understanding the HST Rebate

The GST/HST system offers various rebate options designed to recover amounts paid in error or provide targeted relief to eligible taxpayers. One of the most common rebates is the HST New Housing Rebate, which allows qualifying homeowners to recover a portion of the HST paid on a new or substantially renovated property.

HST New Housing Rebate Overview

When you purchase a new or substantially renovated home from a builder—or hire a builder to construct on your land—you may qualify for a rebate that includes two components:

•Federal Rebate (5%) — applicable on the federal portion of the HST, with adjustments for homes priced above $450,000
•Provincial Rebate (8%) — in Ontario, this applies to the provincial portion of HST on homes used as a primary residence by the purchaser or an immediate family member. This rebate allows for up to $24,000 with no claw-back for eligible homes.

Timelines and Eligibility Considerations

Strict deadlines apply to the HST New Housing Rebate—applications typically must be submitted within two years of the purchase or occupancy date. However, determining the occupancy date can sometimes be complex, requiring careful review and documentation.

Our experienced professionals ensure accurate eligibility assessment, timely submissions, and proper filing to help you maximize your rebate while remaining fully compliant with CRA requirements.
