To be eligible for GST/HST Payment benefits:
- GST/HST payments are calculated based on the recipient’s net income added to the net income of his or her spouse or common-law partner, if applicable, minus any amount the recipient, his or her spouse or common-law partner reported for the Universal Child Care Benefit on your tax return.
- The applicant must be 19 years of age or older, have (or previously had) a spouse or common-law partner, or be (or previously was) a parent and live (or previously lived) with their child.
- To apply for the GST Tax credit, you must file a personal income tax return. Simply tick the GST/HST credit check box on the first page of your return. If you have a spouse, your tax return must provide information on your spouse’s social insurance number, first name, and net income amount (even if it is zero).
