A rebate intended to offset the rising cost of groceries has been granted royal assent, promising to grant eligible single Canadians up to $234 and families up to $467. Seniors are eligible for up to $225.
The Canadian federal government's 2023 budget includes a one-time boost to the Goods and Services Tax Credit (GST Credit or GSTC) that it's terming the "Grocery Rebate." This rebate would provide a maximum of $153 per adult, plus $81 per child and $81 for childless singles, adding up to a maximum of $234 per qualifying Canadian adult living alone.
