A New Grocery Rebate Is In The Works

More money possibly comming your way!

How the grocery rebate works

Instead of a separate program, the grocery rebate will be delivered through higher GST credit payments. This means:

  • Payments will increase by about 25%
  • A one‑time top‑up is also expected later this year
  • Payments will be automatic
  • There is no application required

Who is eligible?

Anyone who already qualifies for the GST/HST credit could benefit.

How much money could people get?

Federal estimates suggest:

  • Up to $400 more this year for a low‑income single person
  • Up to $800 more for a couple with two children

Actual amounts will depend on income and household size.
