For a single person in Canada, the 2024 GST/HST credit is based on your adjusted family net income from the 2024 tax year. If your income is $56,181 or less , you can qualify for the full credit for the July 2025 to June 2026 payment period.

What you can get

  • Maximum annual amount: $533 for a single individual.
  • Income cutoff: the credit starts phasing out above lower income levels and is fully gone once income is above the threshold; for a single person with no children, the 2024 threshold shown by the CRA is $56,181.
  • Payment schedule: the annual amount is paid quarterly, so the maximum works out to about $133.25 every 3 months.

Simple examples

  • Income under $56,181 : you may receive the full or partial GST/HST credit depending on your exact income.
  • Income well above the threshold: you likely receive no credit.

Important note

This is the GST/HST credit based on your tax return, not a one-time rebate. The exact amount depends on your adjusted family net income and other eligibility rules.
