On July 5, 2023, the Grocery Rebate payment will deliver $2.5 billion in financial support to approximately 11 million eligible Canadians and families. In Budget 2023, the Government of Canada introduced the Rebate as a targeted inflation relief measure to help make life more affordable for Canadians who need it most.
The Grocery Rebate will be issued with the next regularly scheduled GST/HST credit payment in July. This additional payment will provide eligible low- to modest-income Canadians and families up to:
- $467 for couples with 2 children
- $234 for singles without children
- $225 for seniors
There is no application process required to receive the Grocery Rebate. Eligible recipients will automatically get the one-time payment if they have filed their 2021 income tax and benefit return and were eligible and entitled to receive the quarterly GST/HST credit in January 2023.
Individuals are encouraged to sign up for direct deposit to get their payments on time and avoid delays.
