CRA Clarifies Treatment of GST/HST in Appraised Value of New Residential Complexes

• CRA concludes that GST/HST should be backed out of the appraised value of newly constructed residence for GST/HST self-assessment purposes
• ETA s. 191(3) requires the builder of a multiple unit residential complex to self-assess itself for GST/HST on the fair market value of the complex
• The appraised value should be treated as including GST/HST, and that such GST/HST should be backed out before determining the amount of GST/HST payable by the builder
• This FMV reduction will reduce the self-assessed GST/HST and any associated new residential rental property rebate.
