The introduction of the HST on July 1, 2010, will result in Ontarians paying a harmonized sales tax of 13 per cent on a long list goods and services that were previously exempt from the eight per cent provincial sales tax.

According to the Ontario Real Estate Association, Ontarians will pay, on average, an additional $1,449 in new taxes on their next residential real estate transaction. In addition, homeowners who are purchasing new construction homes above $ 400,000 will face pay more as a result of this new tax.
