HST - HOW IT AFFECTS YOUR HOME PURCHASE The Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) came into effect on July 1. The provincial and federal governments combined the 7% provincial sales tax (PST) and the 5% federal Goods and Services Tax (GST) into the 12% HST. Some of the transition rules can be quite confusing, so talk to your REALTOR® about the speci¿cs of your situation. In the meantime, we hope the following will help you understand the basics of what is, and what is not, subject to the new tax and how it affects your home purchase. First and foremost, it is important to note that the HST applies to new homes. It does not apply to resale homes. New Housing Rebate You may be eligible for a provincial New Housing Rebate if you buy, as your primary residence:

4176 Verte Place $414,900

a new home together with land;

Solid built level entry home with walkout basement, and a totally self-contained suite (unauthorized). This well kept, clean home has numerous features, such as; hardwood floors, gas fireplaces, jetted tub, large basement workshop, and a bright, full height 1 bedroom suite that is a bit more upscale than most. There are 3 bedrooms on the main level, and a cozy familyroom area off the kitchen that looks out over the private backyard.

a new home together with leased land;

a new mobile home or Àoat home;

a new home purchased through shares in a housing cooperative; or

a home constructed or substantially renovated (more than 90%) by the owner-builder.

Buyers of new homes are eligible for a rebate of 71.43% of the provincial portion (7% of the HST’s 12%) of the

1273 Saturna Drive $489,900 It doesn’t get much better then this! Ocean view, level entry home with full walkout basement backing onto a wonderful duck pond, all on one of the best locations in Craig Bay right next to an open park like area. 3 generous sized bedrooms, 2 with full ensuites. 2 family room areas one off the kitchen area, the other would make a great media room on the lower level. Quality finishing throughout, recently painted, nothing to do but kick back & enjoy the view from the large deck, or take part in the clubhouse activities, swimming pool, hot tub, tennis, & fitness facilities.

#7-6245 Metral Drive $36,900 Affordable home in Crest Mobile Home Estates; a great, safe 55+ park close to Woodgrove shopping centre, and on a bus route. This neatly kept, 1 bedroom plus den home in 624 sq.ft. in size and has a few extra touches such as, newer laminate flooring throughout, and some nice French doors. Dual heating let’s you select between baseboard electric or forced air oil heat, which ever you prefer. There is a single carport for your vehicle, and a flat yard for relaxing in.

HST paid on the new home up to a maximum rebate of $26,250. Homes priced at more than $525,000 are eligible for a Àat rebate of $26,250. This rebate is limited to primary residences. Recreational property not used as a primary residence does not qualify. If you buy a presale property and the agreement is dated on or before November 18, 2009 and you take ownership or possession after July 1, 2010, you will not pay the HST and will not be eligible for a New Housing Rebate. You will pay the GST. If the agreement is dated after November 18, 2009 and you take ownership or possession after July 1, 2010, you will pay the HST and may be eligible for the New Housing Rebate. Buying either a new or a resale home The 12% HST is now charged on a range of goods and services including: • home renovations; • energy ef¿cient appliances, insulation, windows and doors; • heating and electricity bills, telephone, cable; • closing costs such as appraisals and inspections; • moving costs; and

926 Crace Street $369,900 COMMERCIAL-CHARACTER VIEW. Original condition intact with, inlaid oak floors, leaded glass, plaster coved ceilings, period fixtures, exceptional ocean view, huge lot. Commercial C-27 zoning provides a multiplicity of uses. Steps to shopping, transportation, seawall and more.

• REALTOR® fees or commissions – note that the HST will apply to REALTOR® services performed on or after July 1, 2010. If 90% or more of the services were performed before July 1, 2010, the HST will not apply. The HST is not the PTT The Property Transfer Tax (PTT) is a separate provincial tax on all property transfers. The rate is 1% on the ¿rst $200,000 and 2% on the remainder of the fair market value of the property (usually the property price) before the GST/HST is applied.

L EA D T HO

910 Crace Street $175,000 C-27 commercial zoned character home close to Port Place, Gabriola ferry and Conference Center. Built in 1930 by John Levi this home still has some charm with its high ceilings and fir floors. The rooms are generous sized, 25’x11’4” living room, 12’x11’4” dining area, and two 11’x11’ bedrooms. There is a partially finished basement with potential, and a partially fenced yard with a dog run. There is even a nice ocean view from the deck. This would make a great property to rent out and hold on to.
