Why people search for their province
Most people who search "GST dates Alberta" or "HST payment dates Ontario" are looking for the same federal payment. Provinces differ in sales tax rates (see GST/HST rates by province), not in the federal credit schedule.
Province by province
| Province | Federal CGEB dates | What is different |
|---|---|---|
| Alberta | Same as above | No provincial sales tax, only 5% GST. Provincial benefits are administered separately. |
| British Columbia | Same | GST 5% + PST 7%. BC's own credits are paid by the province. |
| Manitoba | Same | GST 5% + RST 7%. |
| Saskatchewan | Same | GST 5% + PST 6%. |
| Ontario | Same | 13% HST. Ontario also pays its own Ontario Trillium Benefit, which includes the Ontario Sales Tax Credit, on a separate schedule. |
| Quebec | Same | GST 5% + QST 9.975%. Quebec's sales-tax-related credits (such as the solidarity tax credit) come from Revenu Québec. |

What to do if you did not get the payment
- Confirm the date: it is a federal date, not a provincial one.
- Sign in to CRA My Account and review Benefits and credits.
- Check that you filed your last return and that direct-deposit details are correct.
- Wait about 10 working days after the date before contacting the CRA, particularly if you are paid by cheque.
For eligibility and amounts, read the CGEB guide. For the main calendar, see the payment dates dashboard.
