## Questions people ask

### How much is the GST credit for 2026–27?

From July 2026 to June 2027 (based on your 2025 return) the most you can get is $679 if you're single, $890 for a couple and $234 for each child under 19, paid in four parts. A single person with $30,000 of net income gets the full $679.00, or $169.75 a quarter.

### Is the GST rebate the same as the GST/HST credit?

Yes. "GST rebate" and "GST cheque" are what most people call the GST/HST credit, the tax-free quarterly payment for people with low and modest incomes. Since July 2026 it is called the Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit and is 25% higher through 2031; who qualifies and how it is worked out haven't changed.

### At what income does the GST credit stop?

It goes down by 5% of your adjusted family net income over $46,432. A single person with no children gets nothing from about $60,012; a couple with two children, from about $73,592.

### When is the GST credit paid?

In July 2026, October 2026, January 2027 and April 2027, around the 5th. If your amount works out to less than $50 a quarter, the whole year is paid in one July payment.

### Do I have to apply for the GST credit?

No. File your tax return every year (your spouse or partner too) and the CRA works it out for you. Children are added through the Canada Child Benefit registration.

### What does a single person get at low incomes?

A single person with no children gets the $445 basic amount plus a supplement of up to $234 that builds up at 2% of net income over $11,564, so the full $679 is reached at $23,264. Single parents get the full supplement whatever their income.
