HST Rebate on New Homes: Up to $130,000 at North Hill
Under Ontario’s enhanced HST relief, buyers of new homes up to $1 million may qualify for a rebate of up to the full 13% HST, subject to eligibility and final legislation. Here’s how it works and how it applies to North Hill in Upper Bolton.
Ontario’s HST rebate on new homes, explained
Ontario buyers of new homes may qualify for up to $130,000 back in HST. Ontario’s enhanced HST relief rebates the 8% provincial portion on qualifying new homes priced up to $1 million for buyers who will live in the home, and together with the 5% federal portion the total rebate can reach the full 13%, capped at $130,000 on homes up to $1.5 million. The federal portion is confirmed in law for first-time buyers; its extension to all buyers has been proposed and is subject to final legislation. The agreement of purchase and sale must be signed between April 1, 2026 and March 31, 2027.
With North Hill homes starting from $789,900, buyers who sign within the window may qualify for the full HST rebate, subject to eligibility and final legislation. Where the builder is able to credit the rebate, it comes off what you pay on final closing; otherwise you pay the HST at closing and claim the rebate from the CRA. Federal and provincial rules and CRA processing are still being finalized, so confirm the details with your lawyer.
