GST/HST credit
The goods and services tax/harmonized sales tax (GST/HST) credit is a tax-free quarterly payment for individuals and families with low and modest incomes to help offset the GST or HST 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.
