The Grocery Rebate Rolls Out July 5th!
This should help some Canadians with summertime snacks for the kids!
The new one-time Grocery Rebate will deliver targeted inflation relief for 11 million low- and modest-income Canadians and families who need it most, with up to an extra $467 for eligible couples with two children; up to an extra $234 for single Canadians without children; and an extra $225 for seniors, on average.
The Grocery Rebate will be delivered to eligible Canadians on July 5, 2023, by direct deposit or cheque through the Canada Revenue Agency.
Essentially a re-branded GST rebate boost, the payment will be issued through Canada’s GST/HST tax credit system, alongside the regular quarterly GST/HST payments.
Individuals and families that were entitled to receive a GST/HST credit payment for January 2023, and have filed their latest tax returns, should expect to receive this rebate.
The grocery rebate will be equivalent to double the GST/HST credit amount received in January.
