Canadians who are eligible can expect to receive some paybacks from the federal government’s benefit and credit programs this summer.

Here are the payments and amounts these programs provide.

GST Credit

The Goods and Services Tax/Harmonized Sales Tax (GST/HST) credit is paid out four times a year. It’s money that is offered to help individuals and families with lower income earn back some of what they pay in GST or HST, depending on the province they live in.
