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. If you claim the rebate as a homeowner but later decide to flip or rent out the condo, the CRA...

Does this Ontario HST Rebate Apply to You? If you’re planning on investing in a newly built condo that has never been occupied, you may be eligible for money back courtesy of the HST Rebate on new condos. When purchasing an investment property to be rented out, you will no longer be given the rebate directly from the builder. However, this does not mean you won’t be eligible for the rebate....
Late-Filed HST Rebate Applications As a general rule, late-filed rebate applications are NOT accepted by CRA.
