What you need to claim the new-home GST rebate
– moneysense.ca
Q: Hi, I’ve read that if I purchased a new home that I may be eligible for the HST paid on that new home. But I’m concerned. My home was built by a less than honourable builder. The HST was not actually declared on the contract or final invoice. Can I assume he paid tax and apply for rebate? According to the laws in Ontario, he has to pay GST to the government if he earns more than $30,000 and my contract, alone was a total cost of $148,000?
— Deb L., Facebook message
Answer from Romana King, senior editor and real estate specialist at MoneySense:
Deb, you will be relieved to learn that the Canada Revenue Agency has no problem should you decide to apply for a GST rebate. Keep in mind, however, that the CRA will require documentation to prove that you actually paid GST to the builder. This proof could be your invoice, that shows the break-out of funds (labour, materials, GST, etc.), or it could be a receipt issued to you by the builder, or it could be a contract that highlights the build price but not the GST for your project…
Nigeria: Local leaders back militants hitting oil production
– canadianbusiness.com
WARRI, Nigeria – Community leaders and activists in Nigeria’s oil-producing Niger Delta voiced support for a new group of violent militants, saying their demands for a greater share of oil wealth match the aspirations of local people.
At a stakeholders’ meeting held Thursday in the southern town of Warri, community leaders accused the Nigerian government of a heavy-handed military campaign and warned of continuing attacks that have already cut Nigeria’s production by more than 40 per cent, causing the West African nation to lose its place as the biggest producer on the continent to Angola.
A bomb attack Thursday forced U.S.-based oil major Chevron to halt all onshore activities at its 160,000-barrel -a-day Escravos export terminal.
In a surprise development, civilian leaders sided with the attackers, calling them “armed agitators protesting failed government policies.”
