The following will determine if you are eligible to claim the GST/HST Rebate:
Employee whose employer is a GST/HST registrant
As an employee, you may qualify for the GST/HST rebate if both of the following apply:
- You paid the GST/HST on certain employment-related expenses and deducted those expenses on your income tax and benefit return.
- Your employer is a GST/HST registrant.
You do not qualify for the GST/HST rebate if one of the following applies :
OR
Partner of a GST/HST registered partnership
As an individual who is a member of a partnership, you may be eligible for the GST/HST rebate if all the following apply:
- The partnership is a GST/HST registrant.
- You personally paid GST/HST on expenses that:
- you did not incur on the account of the partnership
- you deducted from your share of the partnership income on your income tax and benefit return.
To be eligible for the rebate, you must have paid the GST/HST on the expense or acquisition and the partnership must use it to make taxable supplies.
As a partner, you can only claim a rebate to the extent that the partnership could have otherwise claimed an input tax credit (ITC) if it had incurred the expense directly. This means that if your partnership cannot claim any ITCs because it provides only exempt supplies (for example, doctors providing exempt medical services), you would not be eligible to claim a GST/HST rebate for the expenses you deducted from your share of the partnership income.
The rebate is limited to the amount that would qualify for an ITC if the partnership had incurred the expenses and paid GST/HST in the last reporting period of its last fiscal year that ended in the calendar year for which you are claiming the rebate.
