About Ontario's Temporary Enhanced HST Relief

​

Ontario's Temporary Enhanced HST Relief Program offers eligible purchasers the opportunity to realize significant savings on qualifying new homes.

​

Buyers who enter into an Agreement of Purchase and Sale between April 1, 2026 and March 31, 2027 may be eligible for:

​

• 8% federal HST relief

• 5% provincial HST enhancement

• Up to 13% combined HST relief

 

On a qualifying $1,000,000 new home, eligible purchasers could save up to $130,000.

​

Unlike many rebate programs, these savings are applied as a credit at closing, reducing the amount required to complete the purchase rather than requiring buyers to wait for a rebate after closing.

Eligibility

Requirements

​

To qualify for the Enhanced HST Relief Program:

• The home must be a new construction home (resale homes are not eligible).

• The Agreement of Purchase and Sale must be signed between April 1, 2026 and March 31, 2027.

• Buyers do not need to be first-time homebuyers to qualify.

• Additional federal and provincial eligibility requirements apply.

 

We recommend working with your lawyer and real estate professional to ensure all required documentation is completed before closing.

​

Why Buy Now?

• The Enhanced HST Relief Program is a limited-time opportunity, available only for eligible purchase agreements signed between April 1, 2026 and March 31, 2027.​
