According to Canada Revenue Agency, as an employee, you may qualify for a GST/HST rebate if all of the following conditions apply:
  • you paid GST or HST on certain employment-related expenses and deducted those expenses on your income tax and benefit return
  • your employer is a GST/HST registrant
