gst hst credit

gst hst credit is primarily meant for the low-earning taxpayers. When you file your tax return with an income statement, proving you are either earning modest or low incomes, you are eligible for it.

Such taxpayers can get a refund of a part of the income tax filing. They are also eligible for different other government benefits. The working model is based on the premise that people in Canada pay GST/HST regularly/on a daily basis while making various purchases as both kinds of taxes are included in the price of goods and services. GST is also paid while buying a home and land.

This forms the basis of such low-income people turning eligible for the GST/HST credits. This system is already benefitting a large number of permanent residents (and also those who have newly moved in) in Canada. This can be considered a major social welfare measure extended to the citizen by the Canadian Government.
