It is my understanding that the application process was amended in 2014 but not the entitlement. Make sure to indicate a request for the rebate in 2013 and earlier years when filing.
It looks as though the GST credit will only go back to 2014 as well.
Per CRA:
The Canada Revenue Agency will automatically determine your eligibility when you file your next income tax and benefit return for the 2014 and later tax years.
Terry is correct. This merely refers to the method of applying, NOT eligibility.
Hi ! I recently sent an RC151 to get GST credit but I am a permanent resident since 2016 so I wonder whether CRA will make the retroactive payments for past year automatically or should I claim a retroactive payment for last year and how ? Thanks a lot for clarifying this for me.
Hello,
If I am filing previous year's returns should I file all of them together or file one wait for return and the file another?
You need to complete your income tax returns from previous years in order to see if you qualify for the GST credit and if you do they will pay you for those years that you missed if you qualify- max 10 years including this year.
I filed late in 2023. I received my Jan. April and July payments but did not get the October 2023 payment and have not received my January 2024 payment. Please help me get my payments
@Motorboat_10 If you do not receive your GST/HST payment on the scheduled day, wait 10 working days before calling the CRA at 1-800-387-1193.
How long did it take to get your GST? (Out of curiosity for how long I may have to wait)
I didn't get my Gst check on July 5 , 2024 I want to no what is going on
As per CRA:
If you do not receive your payment on the scheduled day, wait 10 working days before contacting CRA.
You can view your GST/HST payment dates and amounts in My Account.
A change in your situation may cause your GST/HST credit payment to be recalculated based on the effective date of the change. The CRA will send you a GST/HST credit notice of redetermination showing the revised annual credit amount when any of the following situations apply and change the amount of your payment:
after each reassessment of either your or your spouse or common-law partner's tax return that affects net income
after a change in your marital status
after a change in the number of eligible children in your care
after the death of a GST/HST credit recipient
If this does not apply to you, you can contact CRA at 1-800-387-1193, who will assist you.
