First-Time Buyer GST Rebates
How to save up to $50,000 on your new construction home in Calgary.
The 2026 Rules
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.
Eligibility Checklist
✓ Must be a first-time home buyer (or treated as one)
✓ Must be purchasing a newly constructed home (pre-construction or quick possession)
✓ The home must be your primary place of residence
✓ The purchase price must be under $1.5 million to qualify for any relief
