In Ontario, the sale of newly built homes is subject to GST/HST. This means that anyone in Ontario who purchases a new home from a builder is required to pay HST/GST on their purchase.
The GST/HST New Housing Rebate was introduced to help homeowners deal with the cost of buying a new home. Provided that a purchaser meets certain criteria, they may be entitled to offset up to $24,000 if they paid the HST on the purchase of the land, and $16,080 if they did not.
