GST/HST New Housing Rebate & New Residential Rental Property Rebate

The GST/HST new housing rebate allows individuals to obtain some portion of the goods and services tax (GST) or the federal part of the harmonized sales tax (HST) paid, if the total purchase price of the home is less than $450,000 otherwise the federal portion of the HST paid is not recoverable.

Still buyers may be eligible to claim a provincial new housing rebate to recover some of the provincial part of the HST that is paid to buy the house if the house is located in Ontario, and the maximum Ontario new housing rebate amount available is $24,000.
