The Goods and Services Tax (GST) Credit is a tax-free quarterly payment that helps individuals and families with low and modest incomes offset all or part of the GST they pay.
To receive GST credit quarterly payments, people must file their income tax and benefit return and complete the Goods and Services Tax/Harmonized Sales Tax (GST/HST) credit application area on the first page of the return. Individuals who move must inform the Canada Revenue Agency immediately to ensure that payments of their GST/HST credit are not disrupted, even if they use direct deposit and their bank account does not change.
General information regarding the GST credit can be obtained through the CRA’s automated Tax Information Phone Service (T.I.P.S.).
