Trillium is an Ontario government benefit for taxpayers of modest means. It is nothing to do with your Federal or Provincial tax accounts. Your Net Income is used to determine eligibility for Trillium. That's all.

You could use the Trillium benefit payments to lay down your tax due, but you'd be better to pay it off sooner than later.
