Understanding the HST on Pre-Construction Condos Pre-construction condos are subject to HST since they are considered new builds, unlike resale properties. Builders usually wrap HST into the advertised purchase price, while the rebate component is dependent upon your situation. The HST rebate in Ontario covers both the federal and provincial portions of the tax, bringing your overall cost at...
Understanding HST on New Condos HST is payable on the full purchase price when buying a new condo in Canada, whereas resale homes usually are exempt. When builders quote a price, they often include this tax in the price you see, so you might not even realize how much of that total comes from HST. Fortunately, with the Condo HST rebate, buyers can recover a good portion of the tax paid, reducing...
Understanding the HST Rebate for New Condos This Ontario HST rebate was created to offset the impact of the Harmonized Sales Tax on new homes and condos.

Knowing the basics of eligibility, such as whether you plan...
Primary Residence Requirement One of the most frequent reasons the CRA reclaims your rebate is when the home doesn’t meet residency rules. The HST rebate on new condo purchases is intended for people who occupy the property as their primary residence, not as an investment or rental property.
