What are the GST/HST Rebates for new homes?
There are two types of GST/HST rebates for newly purchased homes: one is the rental housing rebate (GST/HST New Housing Rebates, referred to as NHR), and the other is the owner-occupied housing rebate (GST/HST New Residential Rental Property Rebates, referred to as NRRPR).
Application Price :

- After the new house is closed, you can rent it out ($400 + tax per unit)
- Landlords who purchase newly built or substantially renovated residential rental properties
- Landlords who build their own residential rental properties
- You are a builder who sells a residential unit to a tenant under a written agreement and therefore must account for GST/HST under the self-supplied rules (only if the tenant is entitled to claim the New Home Tax Credit)
