GST/HST credit - Overview
Benefit recalculation
Most benefit and credit payment amounts are recalculated each July based on information from your tax return. Check your notice of determination (in your CRA Account or via mail) for your payment explanation or visit our webpage if your payment stopped or changed before calling us.
Overview
The goods and services tax/harmonized sales tax (GST/HST) credit is a tax-free quarterly payment that helps individuals and families with low and modest incomes offset the GST or HST that they pay. It may also include payments from provincial and territorial programs. You are automatically considered for the GST/HST credit when you file your taxes.
