Buy A New Home During PST/HST Transitional Period?

Transitional Period is from April 1, 2012 to April 13, 2013.


If you buy a NEW house during transitional period:


1/  you will have to pay a transitional BC provincial tax of 2% on house price.


2/  you will still like before have to pay GST (5% on house price) to the federal government.

Principal Home Buyers still get federal rebate: 

**36% rebate x 5% GST x hse price $350,000 = maximum rebate $6,300

**from $350,000 to $450,000, maximum rebate $6,300 will be phased out on a straight basis; at $450,000, federal rebate=0
