Not only do you get to buy your first home, but you can also get back the extra cash to transform it into your dream home. With professional guidance from a rebate specialist, your application process can be easy and stress-free.

The HST Rebate in Ontario

While the HST Rebate in Ontario is not exclusive to first-time home buyers, it can go a long way in minimizing the expense of purchasing a new property. The HST Rebate applies to anyone buying a new residential property that will serve as their primary residence. If you are building your home from the ground up or significantly renovating your newly purchased property, you will need to apply for the HST rebate in Ontario independently of the builder to get your money back. In Ontario, a 13% tax (harmonized sales tax) applied to all purchases. The HST Rebate in Ontario is designed to give residential property owners a portion of the amount spent on HST back. A successful rebate application can mean tens of thousands of dollars back in your pocket. Offered through Canada Revenue Agency, there are strict eligibility requirements for the HST Rebate program. To find out if you fit, reach out to Rebate4U. Our specialists have been helping property owners apply for the HST rebate for more than ten years and can help you too.

If you are a first-time home buyer in Ontario, you can get a portion or the entirety of the land transfer tax back from the government, which in some cases, can amount to a substantial sum that can go back into your pocket or upgrade your home. To qualify for this rebate in Ontario, any name on the title of the property must be a first-time home buyer.
