OHBA Webinar: Removing Tax from All New Home Sales

Ontario’s housing market is facing unprecedented pressures: tens of thousands of completed homes remain unsold, 40,000 industry jobs are at risk, and ownership rates are declining faster than anywhere else in Canada.

As part of OHBA’s coordinated advocacy, it is advancing a clear position: Both the federal GST and the provincial PST must be removed from ALL new home sales to meaningfully improve affordability, stimulate construction, and protect Ontario’s workforce and economy.

This webinar is a members-only briefing on OHBA’s coordinated tax-relief efforts. This session will walk through the evidence behind the removal of GST/PST, outline OHBA’s provincial-federal advocacy strategy, and discuss potential next steps to better engage the broader membership in these coordinated efforts.
