Eligible buyers of qualifying new homes in Ontario may benefit from the current Ontario Enhanced New Housing Rebate (ENHR). For qualifying purchases from a builder with an agreement entered into between April 1, 2026 and March 31, 2027, the combined Ontario new housing rebate and ENHR can provide up to $80,000 toward the provincial 8% portion of HST, with the full $80,000 available for eligible homes valued up to $1 million and maintained for homes valued up to $1.5 million, subject to the applicable rules. Eligible first-time home buyers may also qualify for the federal First-Time Home Buyers’ GST/HST Rebate of up to $50,000, while Ontario’s New Home Affordability Payment may provide additional relief under its eligibility requirements. Buyers should verify their individual eligibility, purchase price, agreement date, occupancy requirements, and other conditions with the CRA or Ontario government.
