Canadian HST Calculator for Real Estate
Calculate HST on Canadian real estate transactions: new construction purchases, assignment sales, commercial property, and investment property — including when HST applies, who remits it, and what rebates may offset it.
When HST applies to real estate
Resale residential homes are generally exempt, while new construction, substantially renovated homes, assignments, and most commercial transactions attract HST. The calculator walks through the common Ontario scenarios and shows the gross tax and available rebates.
Rebates and recovery
The federal and Ontario new housing rebates, the new residential rental property rebate for investors, and input tax credits on commercial deals can recover a large share of the HST — but eligibility rules differ by use case and closing structure.
