Unclaimed Property Rebates – If you are thinking about buying a new home, you should consider claiming the New Property Rebate. There are a few conditions that must be met to claim this rebate. First, you must make sure that the property you want to buy is eligible. The price of your home will determine the amount of rebate.
GST/HST
If you’re planning to buy a new home, you may qualify for a GST/HST new property rebate if you meet certain conditions. First of all, you must be the primary owner of the house. And the price of the new house must be less than $450,000. This includes the amount you paid to assignors who will be subject to GST/HST.
To apply, you’ll need to fill out two forms that you can find on the government’s website. One form will calculate the rebate amount and the other is the application form. These forms will need to be mailed to the tax center.
Duplexes
Duplexes are buildings consisting of two residential units that do not have separate legal titles. You can also have a single-family home with a separate apartment. Unlike condominiums, duplexes are not eligible for the GST/HST new residential rental property rebate.

It helps you pay off your mortgage faster. If you are planning to claim this credit, you need to make sure that you meet all the requirements.
In order to qualify, you need to be the one who built the house, or engaged someone else to do it for you. This is important, because if you do not pay for the work yourself, you may be asked to pay the rebate back. Additionally, you can only claim a rebate once per house. You cannot claim the rebate twice if you are planning to perform additional work on your home.
Filing deadline
The deadline to file for a rebate for new property depends on the rebate you apply for. Important to remember that this rebate is not the same as claiming your ITCs. The rebate can only be applied to the purchase of a new property.
A rebate may be available based on the GST/HST paid when you buy a new property. In addition, if you’ve built a new home, you may be eligible for a rebate based on the GST/HST you paid on the construction or renovation of the property.
