Canada’s 2023 Budget introduces a one-time grocery rebate
Due to the current high inflation and its impact on many Canadians at grocery stores, Canada’s 2023 Budget will introduce a one-time grocery rebate that would be payable to recipients of the goods and services (GST) tax credit. The quarterly GST credit—the remaining payments for 2023 are in April, July and October—is payable to low-income and modest-income taxpayers based on their previous year’s tax return.
