What Is the GST/HST Credit?
The GST/HST credit is a tax-free quarterly payment from the Canada Revenue Agency designed to help Canadian individuals and families with low to modest incomes offset the goods and services tax (GST) or harmonized sales tax (HST) they pay. For the 2025–2026 benefit year, the maximum annual credit is $533 for a single person and $698 for a couple, plus $184 per child under 19. The credit is reduced by 5% of adjusted family net income above $45,521.
