gst hst credit is a major income-related (also family income-related) benefit the taxpayers can avail themselves of four times a year. The system is very well streamlined and includes a large number of people in Canada. This is administered by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). This credit enables a Canadian falling in the low/modest income brackets to get compensated for the GST/HST they paid. Part of GST/HST is refunded to them. The CRA aims to provide this benefit to the maximum number of lower-income people. For this, the cash benefits are given to the taxpayers. As the children also get this benefit, it proves to be very helpful.
