General information

What is the GST/HST credit?

The GST/HST credit is a non-taxable amount paid 4 times a year to help individuals and families with low and modest incomes offset all or part of the GST/HST that they pay.

Are you eligible for the credit?

You are eligible for this credit if you are a resident of Canada for income tax purposes in the month before and at the beginning of the month in which we make a payment, and at least one of the following applies:

•you are 19 or older

•you have (or had) a spouse or common-law partner

•you are (or were) a parent and live (or lived) with your child

If you are turning 19 years old before April in the year after you became a resident of Canada, you can apply for the credit now. Generally, you have to be 19 or older to get the GST/HST credit, but you can be younger than 19 to apply.

Are you a resident of Canada?

You are considered to be a resident of Canada when you establish sufficient residential ties in Canada. Residential ties include:

•a home in Canada

•a spouse or common-law partner who lives in Canada

•dependants who live in Canada

If you got a letter from us about your residency status, include a copy of it with this application.

If you are not sure if you are a resident of Canada, send Form NR74, Determination of Residency Status (Entering Canada), and include it with this application. We will give you our opinion about your residency status.

Do you have a social insurance number?

You and your spouse or common-law partner (if you have one) need a social insurance number (SIN) to apply. However, if Service Canada will not give you a SIN, you can still apply by filling out this form and attaching a letter explaining why you cannot get a SIN. You must also attach a clear photocopy of any of the following documents:

•passport

•driver's licence

•visitor record

•birth certificate or proof of birth

•any document issued by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada

•any document that proves your or your spouse’s or common-law partner’s identity

Do you have a spouse or common-law partner?

You can get the GST/HST credit for your spouse or common-law partner. Generally, they have to be a resident of Canada for income tax purposes in the month before and at the beginning of the month in which we make a payment. Fill out the section "Information about your spouse or common-law partner" on the first page of the application form.

If you have a spouse or common-law partner, only one of you can get the GST/HST credit for both of you. No matter which one of you applies,

the amount will be the same.

Definitions

Divorced – you were married and are now legally divorced.

Living common-law – you are living in a conjugal relationship with someone to whom you are not married and to whom at least one of the following situations applies. They:

•have been living with you for at least 12 consecutive months. This includes any period you were separated for less than 90 days because of a breakdown in the relationship

•are the parent of your child by birth or adoption

•have custody and control of your child (or had custody and control immediately before the child turned 19 years of age) and your child is wholly dependent on that person for support

Married – you are legally married to someone.

Separated – you have been living apart from your spouse or common-law partner because of a breakdown in the relationship for a period of at least 90 days and you have not reconciled.

Once you have been separated for 90 days because of a breakdown in the relationship, the effective day of your separation is the date you started living apart.

You would still be considered to have a spouse or common-law partner if there is no breakdown in the relationship and you were living apart for reasons such as:

•work

•studies

•health problems

Note

Generally, you are not considered separated if your spouse or common- law partner is incarcerated or does not live in Canada, as long as there is no breakdown in your relationship. However, you may not get the GST/ HST credit for your spouse or common-law partner if the eligibility criteria are not met.

Single – you are single and no other marital status applies to you.

Spouse – the person to whom you are legally married.

Widowed – your spouse or common-law partner is deceased.

How do we calculate your credit?

We base your GST/HST credit on your and your spouse's or common-law partner's income from all sources, both inside and outside Canada (if they are a resident of Canada), and on the number of children you have registered.

If you became a resident of Canada:

•between January 1 and May 31, you must fill in A, B, and C of Step 4

•between June 1 and December 31, you must fill in A and B of Step 4

We will send you a GST/HST credit notice telling you how much you will get and how we calculated the amount. GST/HST credit payments are normally issued in January, April, July, and October each year.

To get an estimate of your GST/HST credit, go to canada.ca/child-family-benefits-calculator.

Related provincial programs

The Canada Revenue Agency administers the following provincial programs that are related to the GST/HST credit:

•BC climate action tax credit

•New Brunswick harmonized sales tax credit

•Newfoundland and Labrador income supplement

•Newfoundland and Labrador seniors' benefit

•Nova Scotia affordable living tax credit

•Ontario sales tax credit

•Prince Edward Island sales tax credit

•Saskatchewan low-income tax credit

You don't need to apply to a province to get payments for these programs. If you are eligible and have applied for the GST/HST credit, your provincial credit payments will be combined with your GST/HST credit payments (except for the Ontario sales tax credit, as part of the Ontario trillium benefit, which is issued separately).
