GST New Housing Rebate still applies
Can be credited by developer OR applied for after purchase
 
Transitional period:

  • Contracts before November 18, 2009 with possession after July 1st, 2010
  • Builder pays transitional tax to ensure building has tax content equal to what it would have if completed before July 1st, 2010
  • Builder may be eligible for PST new housing transitional rebate


Disclosure:

  • Contracts after November 18, 2009 must state whether the Provincial portion of HST applies to the sale and if so, whether the purchase price includes it
  • If transaction is subject to Provincial HST and builder did not disclose it, purchase price in the contract is deemed to include it.
