The Liberal government introduced legislation on June 5 to eliminate the GST portion from new home sales of up to $1 million for first-time buyers, which works out to as much as $50,000 off the cost of a new build or a substantially renovated unit.
For homes sold above $1 million, the GST relief is phased out as the price tag nears $1.5 million.
Desjardins Economics said in a report released Monday, June 9, that first-time Canadian home buyers could save up to $240 on their monthly mortgage payments if they were to buy a new home with an all-in, tax-included price of $1 million. The required down payment would also be somewhat smaller.
