General Income Tax and Benefit Guide - 2015 - General Information, Identification and Elections Canada

Goods and services tax/harmonized sales tax (GST/HST) credit

When you file your return, the CRA will determine your eligibility and tell you if you are entitled to receive the GST/HST credit.

Your credit is based on the number of children you have and your net income added to the net income of your spouse or common law partner (if you have one), minus any amount you or your spouse or common law partner reported on lines 117 and 125. If you or your spouse or common-law partner deducted an amount on line 213 and/or the amount for a repayment of registered disability savings plan income included on line 232, we will add these amounts to your or your spouse’s or common-law partner’s net income.

This information is also used to calculate any payments from related provincial programs. Net income is the amount on line 236 of a person’s return, or the amount it would be if the person filed a return.

In the “Identification” area on page 1 of your return, enter your marital status and, if it applies, the information about your spouse or common law partner (including his or her net income, even if it is zero). Either you or your spouse or common‑law partner may receive the credit, but not both of you. The credit will be paid to the spouse or common-law partner whose return is assessed first.

For more information, go to Child and family benefits, see Booklet RC4210, GST/HST Credit, or call us at 1-800-959-1953. To view your GST/HST credit information, go to My Account for Individuals. To view the next GST/HST credit payment date, go to Mobile apps and select MyCRA.
