Building new? The HST rebate can cover a big slice
A new home in Ontario qualifies for the enhanced HST rebate – up to $130,000 back – if your build contract is signed before the deadline. On a build in the Hillcrest’s price range, that is a major number. Confirm your rebate before you commit.
You Could Lose Up To $106,000 If You Don’t Start Before April 2027
Ontario’s enhanced HST rebate puts up to $130,000 back in a new-home builder’s pocket – but only if your build contract is signed before April 1, 2027. Miss that window and you fall back to the standard $24,000 rebate. On a typical custom build, that is a six-figure swing – so it belongs in your budget from day one.
Estimate based on Ontario’s 2026 enhanced HST rebate (Bill 114). Final eligibility for a custom / owner-built home is confirmed by a licensed rebate specialist – that’s what the free check is for. Full HST rebate details
The enhanced HST rebate applies to new home construction. Final eligibility is confirmed by a licensed rebate specialist - use the HST rebate calculator to check your number, and the 2026 OBC guide and Code Navigator for code questions.
