Who qualifies
Four common situations. Pick yours and we'll handle the rest.
New home from a builder
Bought a newly-built or substantially-renovated home or condo to live in. The rebate is usually credited at closing; we make sure it was claimed correctly.
Rental / investment (NRRP)
Bought a new unit to rent out. You pay the full HST at closing; you may qualify to recover it through the New Residential Rental Property rebate.
Built or renovated your own
Owner-built or substantial renovation. Filed directly with the CRA with its own forms and documentation; we handle all of it.
Assignment purchase
Bought through an assignment from the original purchaser. The builder generally won’t credit the rebate, so it’s filed with the CRA after closing.
On a $600,000 new condo bought as a rental in Ontario, the federal portion is fully phased out above $450,000, so the rebate is the Ontario provincial portion: $24,000. On a lower-priced $350,000 home you live in, the federal and provincial portions combine for about $27,300. Your exact amount depends on your price and situation; the calculator above gives an instant estimate.
One flat fee. No hidden charges.
We charge a flat fee for each hassle-free application - no percentage of your rebate, no unexpected charges or unwanted financial surprises.

Frequently asked questions
How much HST rebate can I get in Ontario?+
It depends on the property type, how it is used, the price, the dates and what your builder already credited. The Ontario new housing rebate can provide up to $24,000 on an eligible builder purchase, and federal relief is price-limited, so the two maximums do not simply add up on one purchase. After a free eligibility check we give you a preliminary estimate and show what may still be recoverable after builder credits.
Who qualifies for the HST new-housing rebate?+
Buyers of a new or substantially-renovated home or condo from a builder (moving in as their primary residence), people who build or substantially renovate their own home, and investors who buy a new unit to rent out long-term (the NRRP rebate). Each path has different rules and forms.
What is the deadline to apply?+
Many housing rebate applications have a two-year filing limit. The starting date depends on the application type and transaction. We check the relevant deadline for you. If your closing was a while ago, contact us anyway; some cases need a closer review rather than a quick no.
Why is the builder asking me to pay more HST at closing?+
If you are renting the unit out, or otherwise do not qualify for the builder's rebate credit, the builder charges that HST through your lawyer at closing. Many buyers are not warned in advance. You may be able to recover part of it through the rental property (NRRP) rebate; we check your eligibility and your deadline.
I bought a condo to rent out. Can I still claim?+
You may qualify for the New Residential Rental Property (NRRP) rebate. Because you are not moving in, the builder cannot credit it at closing, so you pay the HST up front and we help you apply to recover the eligible amount. It requires a first tenant on a lease of at least one year.
I bought on assignment - can I still claim?+
Often, yes. An assignment is a type of transaction, not a separate rebate, so we review the original agreement, the assignment and the closing adjustments to find the rebate route that applies. Reach out with your assignment agreement and closing documents.
I'm a non-resident - am I eligible?+
You may be. Non-residents who buy a new unit and rent it out on a lease of at least one year may qualify for the rental (NRRP) rebate. We check your situation during the free eligibility check.
The builder already included the rebate - do I still need you?+
Sometimes. If the rebate was credited at closing but your situation changed (for example you rented the unit out), the CRA can reassess and claw it back with interest. We make sure the right rebate was claimed the right way.
Why not just file it myself?+
You can - but these claims are heavily audited, the forms and eligibility rules are technical, and a wrong claim is repayable with interest and penalties. We file it correctly the first time and support the application if the CRA reviews it.
