Ontario Announces HST Rebate for First-Time Home Buyers on New and Renovated Homes

  • Ontario is introducing an HST rebate for first-time home buyers on new or substantially renovated homes.
  • The rebate eliminates the provincial portion of HST on qualifying homes valued up to $1 million.
  • For homes valued between $1 million and $1.5 million, the rebate amount will be reduced linearly.
  • The combined relief for homes over $1 million will not be less than the current Ontario HST New Housing Rebate.
  • The rebate applies to agreements signed between May 27, 2025, and before 2031, with construction starting before 2031 and completion before 2036.
