首次购新房有GST退税吗?

[moose]

如何申请呢?多谢!

没听说过退GST， 倒是可以免 land transfer 费，你的律师应该帮你办了的。 查一下你的收据。

Energy Star 的房子可以退PST，BUILDER 在房价里已经扣除了。房子成交后，BUILDER 自己会申请， 你可能会收到政府的信。

From now first time home buyer can get land transfer tax rebate up to $2000 for second hand house. This is new policy in Ontario which applies to new homes only before. If the GST rate will drop to 5% from January 1, 2008 as the conservative government promised, and if you have signed sales and purchase agreement before the GST rate drops and the closing date is after the GST rate drop, you might be able to get GST transitional rebate for the GST rate drop. The rebate will not be 1% of your purchase price as you have got new house GST rebate (about 36% of GST) that is most likely excluded from your purchase price already. The government will issue information on transitional rebate, I guess. It should be the same as what happened in 2006 when GST rate dropped from 7% to 6%. You should be able to find relevant information from the websites of the federal department of Finance and Revenue Canada later on.

I signed purchase agreement before the GST rate dropped and the closing data is after the GST rate dropped. I didn't get any GST transitional rebate.

What should I do? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

不知道你的builder是谁.我的builder告诉我晚些时候会通知我更改合同,减去由于GST降1%所减少的税金,但并不是简单的用房款/1.14*1%(比这少),有一个计算公式.
不过,这和我说的"首次购新房GST退税"不是一回事."首次购新房GST退税"指的是350k以下的新房退GST的36%,此后递减,450k(大约)就没有了.这是我的理解,不一定准确.

I signed purchase agreement before the GST rate dropped and the closing data is after the GST rate dropped. I didn't get any GST transitional rebate.

What should I do? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Are you talking about the GST rate drop on Jan 1, 2008 or May 1, 2006? If your case is for the 2006, you may still be able to claim the transitional rebate if you are qualified. You may visit CRA website to find application form for transitional rebate and file your claim with your supporting documents. If it is for the 2008 drop, you may ask your builder about the GST rate drop. If your builder agrees to adjust the amount in your agreement, it should be fine. If they don't like to bother on this, you can file your claim to CRA after closing as what you need to do for 2006.

I am talking about the GST rate drop in 2006. Thanks a lot.

if your builder didn't give you the adjustment after the GST rate drop, then you are qualified for the GST rebate. you can apply that within two years after your closing date. I got mine in 2006

可以举个具体例子吗？
你如：300,000 listed price 的房子(new housing rebate credited already)，会拿到多少的rebate? 应该怎么计算呢？

还有一个问题，purchase price是300,000(new house rebate已经扣除)的房子，加上3000的upgrade(包含6%GST)，要怎么计算呢？

 

[xiaoyoyo]

楼上的，你为什么要吧upgrade的价格算在房价里面呢？这样会增加你的地税哦

 

[pavo]

新的房子Upgrade都要算在房价里面吧..。？？？
谢谢

我买的二手房是去年8月签的合同，closing day是今年一月。是不是符合rebate的条件？
政府网站上面说：
This proposal to include resale homes would be effective for agreements of purchase and sale entered into after December 13, 2007.
这是说合同必须在十二月13日以后签订还是房子在十二月13日以后交货啊？

不是吧，只要你升级的时候把钱交了，就不算在房价里面了
这个是minto的人跟我说的
