For 2025 in Canada, the GST/HST credit is paid quarterly. The main payment dates for 2025 are:

  • Friday, January 3, 2025
  • Friday, April 4, 2025
  • Friday, July 4, 2025
  • Friday, October 3, 2025

These dates are when the Canada Revenue Agency sends out the GST/HST credit for most eligible people, usually by direct deposit or mail depending on what you chose in your CRA account.

Why January 3 (not the 5th)?

Normally, GST credits fall on or around the 5th of January, April, July, and October.

In 2025, January’s payment was moved to January 3 because the usual date would have fallen on a weekend, so the CRA adjusted it to a business day.

Quick tips to make sure you get it

  • Make sure your 2023–2024 tax returns are filed, as CRA uses your latest return to calculate the 2025 GST/HST credit.
  • Keep your direct deposit and mailing address updated in your CRA My Account so payments are not delayed.
