If you&#8217;re a first-time buyer planning to purchase a new home, this could mean savings of up to $50,000.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s everything you need to know about the First-Time Home Buyers\u2019 GST Rebate (FTHB GST Rebate) and how it could benefit you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What\u2019s Changing?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On May 27, 2025, the Honourable Fran\u00e7ois-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Finance and National Revenue, tabled legislative proposals to amend the Excise Tax Act. These changes create a new GST rebate for eligible first-time buyers:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">100% GST rebate on new homes valued up to $1 million<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Partial rebate on homes priced between $1 million and $1.5 million<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No rebate on homes $1.5 million or more<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This new initiative is expected to provide $3.9 billion in tax relief over five years, beginning in 2025-26.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Who Qualifies?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To be eligible for the FTHB GST Rebate, you must:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be at least 18 years old<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not have owned or lived in a home (yours or a partner\u2019s) in Canada or abroad during the current calendar year or the previous four years<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll also need to be the first occupant of the home and intend to live there as your primary residence.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Types of Homes That Qualify<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can qualify for the rebate if you\u2019re:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong> Buying a New Home from a Builder<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Must sign the agreement of purchase and sale between May 27, 2025, and 2031<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Construction must begin before 2031 and be substantially completed by 2036<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rebate of up to $50,000<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong> Building a Home on Your Own Land<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rebate applies to the GST paid to build or contract a builder<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Same timelines as above apply<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong> Buying a Share in a Co-operative Housing Corporation<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Share must give you the right to live in a new co-op housing unit<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Co-op must have paid GST or the federal portion of HST<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Same deadlines and eligibility rules apply<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How the Rebate Works<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For homes under $1 million: Full GST rebate (up to $50,000)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For homes between $1 million and $1.5 million: Partial rebate<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">E.g., A $1.25 million home gets a 50% rebate (~$25,000)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Homes $1.5 million or more: No rebate<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Important Limitations<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One-time use only: You can\u2019t claim the rebate more than once.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your spouse or common-law partner has claimed the rebate before, you cannot claim it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Agreements signed before May 27, 2025 are not eligible\u2014even if later modified or reassigned.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why This Matters<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the average cost of new homes in many urban centres approaching or exceeding $1 million, this rebate can provide a substantial financial cushion for young Canadians entering the housing market. Combined with other federal housing initiatives, this policy aims to help first-time buyers while also encouraging builders to develop more homes across the country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Final Thoughts<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a significant win for first-time buyers and the construction industry alike. If you&#8217;re planning to buy, build, or invest in co-op housing as your first home, now is the time to start planning.
