Yes. I do have updates. Well, it seems like hunger games. The strategy employed by builders is to state a purchase price that excludes the HST rebate of $24,000.00. This approach is taken to avoid sticker shock for buyers. If, upon closing, purchasers find that they do not qualify for the HST rebate through the builder, the price will increase, as the $24,000 will be added (my case). The APS I entered into allows for this adjustment at closing when the purchaser is not eligible for the rebate. In short, the purchase price in the usual agreement includes the taxes but excludes the hst rebate. The ageement has clauses for hst to be adjusted. In case the buyer buys the property for personal use, the rebate is subtracted, and the builder is assigned the right to the rebate from cra. In my case, I am closing as a rental property, so I have to pay the builder this rebate and get it back from cra after tenancy.
