Guide to Applying for the HST Rebate in Ontario for Newly Renovated Homes

Determine Eligibility

First, you need to determine if you are eligible for the HST rebate. The rebate is available to those who have completed a substantial renovation or constructed a new home. A substantial renovation is defined as a renovation that involves removing or replacing most of the interior of a home or at least 90% of the home's interior. If you've bought a new home directly from the builder that's ready to be occupied, you most likely have had the rebate already discounted from your closing price. For more insight on whether your property qualifies for this rebate program, contact Rebate4U.

Gather Documentation

Once you have determined that you are eligible for the HST rebate, you need to gather all the necessary documentation. This includes receipts, invoices, and contracts for all materials and services used in the renovation or construction project. It is important to keep detailed records of all expenses, as you will need to provide proof of payment to receive the rebate.

Complete the Application

You must complete the appropriate application form to apply for the HST rebate, all of which must be completed accurately. Finding the correct form for your HST Rebate application can be confusing, especially if this is your first time submitting one of these applications. To ensure you've chosen the right form, seek professional support from an experienced rebate specialist in Ontario. You will also need to verify that all the necessary documentation is included.

Submit Your HST Rebate Application

Once you have completed the application, you need to submit it to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). Your submission should be sent to the CRA within 2 years of completing your renovations. If you need more clarification on the timeline, reach out to our experts for help.
