Do I Qualify?

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

Have any questions regarding eligibility for the GST/HST Rebate or what you need in order to begin the New Housing Rebate application process? Never hesitate to reach out to our rebate experts.
