As of July 1, 2010, Harmonized Sales Tax ("HST") is applicable on new homes at the time of Completion. Depending on the terms as set out in the Contract of Purchase and Sale, HST may be included in the Purchase price or it may be in addition to the Purchase price.

GST/HST Transition

Prior to July 1, 2010 (the HST implementation date), the Goods and Services Tax ("GST") percentage had changed in the past few years and the date that you signed the Contract of Purchase and Sale will dictate the amount that you will have to pay. If you have to pay more than 5% of the GST component of the HST, you can apply for a GST/HST Transitional Rebate. Click here for the Info Sheet
