4 CRA Benefit Payments Coming in June 2025: What You’re Getting and Who Qualifies
July 4, 2025 Payment Date
The next GST/HST credit payment is scheduled for Friday, July 4, 2025. If your total credit per quarter is under $50, the CRA consolidates it into one lump sum paid on that date.
Who Qualifies?
To receive the GST/HST credit payment, you must meet the following criteria:
- Be at least 19 years old, or meet special conditions if under 19
- Be a Canadian resident for tax purposes at the start of the payment month
- Submit your income tax return annually so CRA can assess eligibility
Newcomers should file RC151 form during their first year; afterward, the application is automatic.
How the GST Credit Payment is Calculated
Your GST/HST credit payment is based on:
- Your adjusted family net income (from your 2024 tax return)
- Number of eligible children under 19
- Marital status and adjustments reported to CRA
The CRA recalculates payment amounts if your income changes, marital status updates, or children become ineligible.

- Confirm your eligibility by ensuring your 2024 tax return is filed.
