If you have purchased a newly built home, you could qualify for the New Home HST Rebate in Ontario. Available through the Canada Revenue Agency, the Ontario New Home HST Rebate has specific eligibility requirements.
To apply for the Ontario New Home HST Rebate, a homeowner must either purchase a new home from a builder or personally build a residential home. The new home must be occupied as a primary residence to qualify.
Applying for the Ontario New Home HST Rebate
When applying for an HST rebate, homeowners must supply the required application form and specific supporting documents. Everything can be personally prepared and submitted to Canada Revenue Agency. However, applicants often find it valuable to work with a rebate specialist.
Supporting financial documents are required to account for the expenses associated with the new home. More importantly, proof of occupancy is usually needed because the property must be occupied as a principal residence. Everything must be submitted within two years of closing.
Calculating the New Home HST Rebate in Ontario
CRA has specific calculations for determining a rebate amount. For homes that cost $350,000 to $450,000, a sliding scale applies. This rebate can be sizeable. Here again, when things get overly complicated, it makes sense to work with a rebate specialist.
At Rebate4U, in-house rebate specialists provide homeowners with a streamlined and simplified process for submitting their HST rebate application. We even offer an online calculator to estimate a rebate based on the purchase price of the home.
Some Advantages of Working with Professionals
When applying for the HST rebate, applicants must provide contracts, invoices, and other documents to support the claim. CRA may also insist on proof of occupancy to confirm the requirement of “primary residence”. All documents should be kept on file for six years.
Not surprisingly, things can get complicated with Canada Revenue Agency, and homeowners often find the process frustrating. That’s why it can be valuable to work with a rebate specialist who can ensure that all paperwork is submitted correctly and, most importantly, on time.
