Is Your Renovation Enough for the Ontario New Home Rebate

Eligibility Requirements for HST Rebate

When building or renovating your home, your property must meet a few standard requirements to qualify for the HST rebate on home renovations. To successfully apply for an HST rebate in Ontario, your application must be submitted within 2 years of completing your renovation. The home must serve as your primary residence (not a rental or vacation home) for at least a year following the renovation. And your renovation must be significant enough to be considered a new home.

Renovation Requirements for the HST Rebate

The Ontario New Home HST Rebate applies to newly built, self-contracted homes and significant home renovations that account for at least 90% of the property. If you're gutting the property or building a major addition, your property may be eligible. If you're not sure whether your renovation plans meet the 90% threshold for the Ontario HST rebate, schedule an appointment with a specialist at Rebate4U. Our team of experts has over 10 years of experience helping homeowners across Ontario apply for rebates.

What You Need for Your Rebate Application

You'll need to provide documentation with your rebate application to recover some of the 13% spent on new home renovations with the HST Rebate on New Homes. This includes ownership documents, insurance policies, floor plans, and invoices. These documents will be submitted with your application to the Canada Revenue Agency supporting your claim that the newly renovated home will be your primary residence and confirm that you were charged HST by vendors and all your other construction expenses.
