The OTB has three components: the Ontario energy and property tax credit (OEPTC), the Northern Ontario energy credit (NOEC), and the Ontario sales tax credit (OSTC).
To receive the 2026 OTB, you must file your 2025 income tax and benefit return. You do not need to apply separately for the 2026 OSTC component, as the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) will use the information from your 2025 return to determine your eligibility and entitlement.
These credits are claimed in the provincial section of your tax return. You should verify your eligibility and confirm that you intend to claim them. You can check your tax summary to see whether you applied for the Trillium component.
