The GST/HST new housing rebate allows an individual to recover some of the GST or the federal part of the HST paid for a new or substantially renovated house that is for use as the individual’s, or their relation’s, primary place of residence, when all of the other conditions are met. In addition, other provincial new housing rebates may be available for the provincial part of the HST whether or not the GST/HST new housing rebate for the federal part of the HST is available.
