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.
