About the 13% FTHB HST Rebate
The Federal Government has proposed a First-Time Home Buyer HST Rebate that would eliminate the 13% HST on qualifying new residential purchases under $1 million. Properties marked 13% FTHB Rebate below are new builds that would qualify if the rebate passes.
After-rebate prices shown are estimates assuming the full rebate applies. The rebate has not yet been passed into law — final eligibility and effective date are subject to change. See the full breakdown on the Savings Calculator
