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.

Ontario HST Rebate | Deadline April 1, 2027

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.
