Who can get the payment

As the recipient of the GST/HST credit for January 2024, you will also be eligible to receive the Grocery Rebate. This additional benefit ensures that you can enjoy extra savings on your grocery purchases.

Make sure to file your 2021 tax return, even if you didn’t earn any income, in order to claim the Grocery Rebate. This requirement ensures that everyone has an equal opportunity to receive this valuable benefit.

Please take note that you might be eligible for the Grocery Rebate, but not necessarily for the July GST/HST credit or vice versa. The Grocery Rebate is determined using the information from your 2021 tax return, while the next quarterly GST/HST credit payment in July 2024 will be calculated based on your 2024 tax return.
