The process of “reconnecting” an interest in a purchase and sale contract is a relatively new concept in the Waterloo region and is rapidly gaining traction. The problem is that the average buyer does not understand the intricacies of what this entails to successfully yield an interest in an agreement with minimal tax impact. Another problem is that the form of the transfer agreement is quite complex. The purpose of this article is to break down an assignment transaction into a scenario often encountered by lawyers and real estate agents. If GST/HST is paid without the new home rebates and the buyer assigns rebates to the creditor, the value of the rebates is not part of the value of the consideration. This, in turn, requires a careful review of the terms of this agreement. Once the consideration has been transferred to a third party, the true value of the consideration includes the purchase price of the contract, the consideration of the contract and the values of all facilities and upgrades, as confirmed by the agreement.
