New Home HST Rebate in Ontario
Purchase price of a re-sale property in Ontario includes HST, but, a purchase of a residential property from a builder may have additional HST implications. If you are purchasing a new residential property from a builder and you or your immediate family member intend to occupy it as your primary residence, you may qualify for an HST rebate. Typically, the New Home Rebate is assigned to the builder by the purchaser of the new home. Subsequently, the builder credits the purchaser with the amount of the rebate, if available, on closing. Thus eliminating additional HST at closing.
Buyers of investment residential properties and second homes will not qualify for the rebates if the new home is not intended to be the primary place of residence of the buyer or of a relation. If you are buying the property for investment purposes, the builder will charge an addition HST that could exceed $24,000.00. This amount is in addition to your closing costs and cannot be included in your mortgage.
