RST Refund and Rebate Application Deadline is December 31, 2012

The Ontario Ministry of Finance offers refunds and rebates of Retail Sales Tax (RST) paid by individuals, businesses and charitable associations on a variety of items.

Now that the province has moved to the federally administered Harmonized Sales Tax (HST), refund and rebate programs under the former RST are coming to an end.



Visit ontario.ca/finance for more information about available RST rebates and refunds, including:

A completed application form and supporting documentation must be received by the Ministry of Finance by December 31, 2012 to be considered.



The existing refund and rebate application periods will continue for RST paid in respect of insurance premiums and for private transfers of used vehicles.
