GST/HST Credit :
The GST/HST Credit program issues payments to Canadians with low and modest incomes to help offset all or part of the GST/HST they pay on the purchase of goods and services.
The GST/HST credit is issued four times a year – January, April, July & October
The Canada Revenue Agency website provides information on application procedures, eligibility, payment of the GST/HST credit and procedures to follow in case of overpayment.
Delivered by : Canada Revenue Agency (CRA)
