The federal government is sending out one-time GST credit payments to more than 11 million eligible Canadians today, to support those most affected by inflation.
Those who received the GST credit in October will be receiving the additional one-time payment. The one-time payment will double the GST credit amount that eligible individuals get in six months.
The amount received is based on each family's situation and adjusted family net income in 2021.
If you are single, payments will be up to:
- $234 (no children)
- $387 (with 1 child)
- $467 (with 2 children)
- $548 (with 3 children)
- $628 (with 4 children)
If you are married or have a common-law partner, payments will be up to:
- $306 (no children)
- $387 (with 1 child)
- $467 (with 2 children)
- $548 (with 3 children)
- $628 (with 4 children)
