Important Considerations for HST New Housing Rebate

Who Qualifies for the HST New Housing Rebate?

While its name might imply that the rebate is only available to those who have purchased a brand new home, it is actually available to a much broader group of homeowners. In addition to having purchased a brand new house that has never been lived in, the HST New Housing Rebate is also applicable to homes that the owner has built by themselves from the ground up, homes that have had at least 90% of its interior reconstructed or renovated, and in some cases, pre-construction homes and condos, depending on the arrangement with the developer. The HST New Housing Rebate stipulates that these homes must have been built or renovated for the sole purpose of the owner residing there. If you have recently purchased or significantly renovated a home or condo to be used as a rental property, the New Residential Rental Property Rebate may be able to offer you some assistance.
