Should I apply for the GST/QST credit?

I usually get GST payments back but this year the software did not ask me to fill out a form.

Troubleshooting

In most cases, all you have to do to receive the GST/HST credit each year is file your taxes, even if you have no income to report.

You are eligible for the GST credit if you are considered a Canadian resident for income tax purposes the month before and at the beginning of the month in which the CRA makes a payment.

You also need to meet one of the following criteria:

  • You are at least 19 years old.
  • You have (or had) a spouse or common-law partner.
  • You are (or were) a parent and live (or lived) with your child.
