The GST/HST New Housing Rebate is a valuable federal program designed to help offset the tax burden associated with purchasing or substantially renovating residential properties in Canada. Eligible homebuyers may recover a significant portion of the GST or HST paid on the purchase of a new or pre-construction home or on major renovations to an existing property. Depending on the property’s value, homeowners and investors may qualify for rebates of up to $30,000, making it a critical opportunity to reduce overall housing costs.
This rebate includes both federal and provincial components. The federal rebate provides up to $6,000 for homes priced under $450,000, while the provincial rebate is tiered and can offer up to $24,000 for properties above that threshold. Additionally, under the New Residential Rental Property Rebate (NRRPR), landlords and investors who purchase new residential rental units may also recover a portion of the HST paid.
