West End Home Builders' Association

What they're asking for

In the registry's own words. Descriptions are only filed for meetings since mid-2024.

1. The WE HBA supports indexing the GST New Home Rebate. The existing GST new home rebate thresholds of $350k and $450k were put in place in the early 1990s when the GST was implemented and have not been adjusted since then. Given housing price escalation over the past 3 decades - these GST thresholds should be adjusted to reflect current new home prices. Options include removing altogether or setting a higher single threshold of for example $1 million, $1.3 million or more. It is WE HBA's position that the threshold should be for all new home purchasers and not restricted only to first time purchasers.

2. WE HBA is supportive of the introduction of legislation to enhance the Goods and Services Tax (GST) Rental Rebate on new purpose-built rental housing, to incentivize construction of much-needed rental homes for Canadians.
