Understanding the Federal Rebate
The Canadian government has introduced significant GST relief for first-time buyers purchasing newly built homes. If you qualify, the 5% GST is eliminated on new homes valued up to $1 million, and reduced for homes priced between $1M and $1.5M.
This is one of the most significant buyer incentives available in Canada — and one many buyers don’t fully understand or claim correctly. We help you navigate the process from start to finish.
