Are you a first-time homebuyer in Canada? If so, you may be eligible for a rebate on the HST paid on the purchase of your new home through the HST New Housing Rebate Program.
The HST New Housing Rebate Program allows first-time homebuyers to claim a rebate on the HST paid on the purchase of a new home. The rebate is available to Canadian residents who have never owned a home or who have not owned a home in the past five years. The rebate is calculated based on the HST paid and the purchase price of the home and can be a significant saving for first-time homebuyers.
To be eligible for the rebate, you must meet the following criteria:
- You must be a Canadian resident
- You must be at least 18 years old
- You must have never owned a home or have not owned a home in the past five years
- The home must be located in Canada
- The home must be a new home or substantially renovated home that has not been occupied before
If you meet these criteria, you may be eligible for the HST New Housing Rebate. To apply for the rebate, you will need to complete the HST New Housing Rebate Application form and submit it to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) along with the required documentation.
