First Time Home Buyers Bonus

Subject to approval by the legislature, the B.C. government has announced plans to implement a temporary BC First-Time New Home Buyers’ Bonus. Effective February 21, 2012, to March 31, 2013, the bonus is a one-time refundable personal income tax credit worth up to $10,000.

Purchasers will qualify as a first-time new home buyer if:
  • You purchase or build an eligible new home located in B.C.
  • You, or for couples, you and your spouse or common law partner, have never previously owned a primary residence
  • You file a 2011 B.C. resident personal income tax return, or if you move to B.C. after December 31, 2011, you file a 2012 B.C. resident personal income tax return (you will not be eligible for the bonus if you move to B.C. after December 31, 2012)
  • You are eligible for the B.C. HST New Housing Rebate
  • You intend to live in the home as your primary residence
