GST/HST New Housing Rebate

The GST/HST New Housing Rebate allows homeowners to recover some of the GST or federal portion of the HST paid on substantial renovations or new home construction. If the installation of a Mini-Split heat pump is part of a significant home renovation, you may be eligible for this rebate.

Rebate Amount: Varies based on the GST/HST paid and the cost of renovations.

Requirements:

  • The renovation must be substantial (typically affecting at least 90% of the home’s interior).
  • The property must be the primary residence of the homeowner.

How to Apply:

  1. Complete the Renovation: Ensure that the installation qualifies as part of a substantial renovation.
  2. Save Documentation: Keep all invoices and contracts related to the heat pump installation.
  3. Submit Form GST191: Mail the completed form and supporting documents to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).

More information can be found on the CRA’s GST/HST New Housing Rebate page.
