In addition to a two-month tax holiday on the Goods and Services Tax/Harmonized Sales Tax (GST/HST), the Government of Canada will issue a $250 check in spring 2025.
The announced bill would introduce the new, tax-free Canadian Workers’ Refund. This amount will be provided to 18.7 million individuals.
To be eligible, you must have worked in 2023 and earned a net individual income below $150,000. You must also meet the following requirements:
- Have filed your 2023 tax return no later than December 31, 2024, and:
- either claimed the tax credit for contributions to the Canada Pension Plan or Quebec Pension Plan on employment or self-employment income;
- or claimed the tax credit for contributions to Employment Insurance or the Quebec Parental Insurance Plan (QPIP) on employment or self-employment income;
- or declared income received from Employment Insurance or QPIP benefits.
- Be a resident of Canada as of March 31, 2025.
- Not be serving a prison sentence of at least 90 days immediately prior to April 1, 2025.
- Not be deceased as of April 1, 2025.
The Canada Revenue Agency is already implementing measures to automatically issue the $250 Canadian Workers’ Refund in early spring 2025. This amount will be paid by direct deposit or check to individuals who meet the above criteria.
