If you’re eligible for the GST/HST Credit, a nice little financial boost could be headed your way this week. The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) is set to send out payments starting in early April, providing a much-needed break for low- and modest-income Canadians.
The GST/HST Credit is a tax-free payment sent quarterly to help offset the sales taxes (GST and HST) Canadians pay on everyday goods and services. The April payment is part of a series of quarterly deposits designed to help stretch your budget throughout the year, especially with the rising cost of living. The best part? You don’t even need to apply for it — if you’ve filed your taxes, the CRA will calculate and send your payment automatically.
To qualify for the GST/HST Credit, you need to be a Canadian resident for tax purposes and at least 19 years old. If you’re under 19 but married, in a common-law relationship, or living with your child, you may still be eligible. Your eligibility and payment amount depend on your family income and size. For example, individuals who earned more than $54,704 in 2023 won’t qualify. However, families with four or more children can qualify with an income up to $72,244.
The amount you’ll receive depends on your household income and family situation. Here’s a breakdown of the maximum amounts for the upcoming April 2025 payment:
These payments will be sent out in equal quarterly installments, with the first one arriving on April 4, 2025.
The next payment date is April 4, 2025, with future payments scheduled for July 4 and October 3, 2025. The payments for the upcoming year, starting in July 2025, will be based on your 2024 tax return.
No, the GST/HST Credit is not considered taxable income, so you don’t need to include it in your tax return. It’s designed to help offset the taxes you’ve already paid, and it won’t affect any other benefits or credits you’re receiving.
To ensure you continue to receive your GST/HST Credit, just make sure you’re up-to-date with your tax filings. If you haven’t filed yet, be sure to do so soon, as the CRA uses your most recent tax return to determine your eligibility.
For more details about the GST/HST Credit and how to apply, check out the Canada Revenue Agency’s website.
