HST ResourcesHST and Housing - Resources for Builders, Resources for Buyers
Building on the free webinars CHBA BC has been holding with Canada Revenue Agency, this resource page has been created on the CHBA BC website as a conduit of information and resources for both builders and buyers.
Fact Sheets for Buyers and Builders
With the introduction of the HST, new home buyers want to clearly understand how it affects new housing. HST now applies to new residential housing; however, the government has implemented changes that minimize or eliminate the net impact to home buyers. To help home buyers understand the HST, CHBA BC has prepared two simple fact sheets to clarify the tax and help consumers calculate their new home tax rebate - a rebate that is available for all new residential home purchases.
HST Webinar Slides
CHBA BC hosted with partners from the Canada Revenue Agency, a series of webinars on applying the HST to real property. For your reference, we have available this copy of the presentation slides. You can
