Owner-Built Homes Rebate Eligibility

How Else Am I Eligible For The GST/HST New Housing Rebate?
You have two years from the closing or completion date to file for a GST/HST Rebate if you:
- Substantially renovated a home, condo or residential rental property
- Converted a non-residential property into a home
- Built or hired someone to build a major addition onto your home - the addition should be at least double the size of the liveable areas of your existing house, therefore, just adding a new bedroom or sunroom may not qualify you
- Rebuilt a home destroyed by fire

Timing may vary per client but it could take anywhere from four to eight weeks on average unless the CRA has requested an audit from you. Whether you’ve built a new home, purchased a new investment property or undergone substantial home renovations, you have two years to apply from the date you closed on the property and/or you completed your renovation/new build project.
