The Goods and Services Tax/Harmonized Sales Tax (GST/HST) credit is a tax-free quarterly benefit designed to help low- and modest-income Canadians offset the cost of GST or HST paid throughout the year.
It acts as crucial financial relief to combat the rising living costs for individuals and families across the country.

The next GST/HST credit payment will be issued on June 5, 2025.
This is the second scheduled payment for the 2025-2026 benefit year.
The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) will either deposit the funds directly into recipients’ bank accounts or mail a cheque, depending on their chosen method of payment.
If you are eligible for the full credit, you can expect to receive up to $254 for the June installment.
