Due to an increase in inflation, it has become difficult for people to purchase basic necessities for their families, children, or homes. To assist these individuals, the Government of Canada introduced a grocery rebate in 2023. This rebate serves as a top-up to the regular GST/HST credit payment for eligible individuals. Below are the requirements for receiving grocery rebate payments:

• File a tax return for 2021. Filing an income tax return is mandatory because the final amount is calculated based on your income tax return.
• If you are receiving the GST/HST credit this year, you can still get the grocery rebate.
• The person must meet income tax requirements and be older than 19 years.
• If a Canadian person earns less than $45,000 in a year, they will receive the full one-time grocery rebate payment.
• The total family income should not be more than $65,000.
