A one-time GST/HST credit top-up payment worth up to several hundred dollars is set to hit Canadians’ bank accounts this Friday.
Just like that!
Before the new program officially begins, eligible Canadians will receive a one-time spring payment worth 50 per cent of their annual GST/HST credit amount. For some households, that could mean a few hundred dollars landing in their account this week.
Who is eligible for the top-up payment?
Most Canadians won’t need to apply for the top-up payment — all you had to do was file your taxes in 2024, even if you had no income to report, and be eligible or entitled to the GST/HST credit in January 2026.
The CRA also notes that the family or individual’s net income declared in the 2024 tax filing must fall below the maximum threshold.
How much will you get from the top-up payment?
- $267 for single individuals without children
- $349 for couples without children
- $441 with one child
- $533 with two children
- $625 with three children
- $717 with four children
Parents with shared custody will each receive half of the eligible amount.
