How to Get the Ontario HST Rebate When Renting

What is the HST Rebate?

In Ontario HST is the harmonized sales tax, 13%, which is paid on top of virtually all sales of goods and services in the province. When you purchase a newly built home or condo, the government of Ontario will give you some of the costs back if your newly purchased property meets their requirements. For rental properties, the HST Rebate in Ontario is known as the New Residential Rental Property Rebate. Depending on your property, you can get back up to $30,000 from the HST Rebate. To maximize your rebate, reach out to Rebate4U. For more than 10 years, we have helped property owners throughout Ontario maximize their rebates.

What Do You Need to Apply?

If it has been within 2 years of closing your property purchase, you can apply for the New Residential Rental Property rebate, but you’ll need the proper documentation to submit to Canada Revenue Agency, so ensure you always retain copies. These documents will show the Canada Revenue Agency that you are qualified for the HST rebate on a new condo or home by indicating that you have, in fact, purchased a newly built property within the specified timeframe and the new home or condo is being used as a rental property. To ensure you have the proper documentation for your New Residential Rental Property Rebate application, reach out to Rebate4U. Our team will help you select the property forms and paperwork for a smooth application process.
