The Truth About the “September 2025 Grocery Rebate”
Some websites and social media posts are claiming that the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) will issue a grocery rebate of $234 to $612 on September 20, 2025. These sources say it will be based on your GST/HST credit eligibility and 2024 tax return.
But here’s the truth:
🔍 As of now, the CRA has not confirmed any grocery rebate for September 2025.
The last officially confirmed Grocery Rebate was issued on July 5, 2023, as part of the federal government’s 2023 Budget relief plan. That was a one-time payment — and no new version has been announced since.
What the CRA Has Actually Said
| Topic | Official CRA Position |
|---|---|

| Grocery Rebate 2025 | ❌ Not announced or confirmed |
| September 2025 GST Credit | 📅 Regular GST/HST credit still scheduled |

What Is the Grocery Rebate — and Who Got It?
The original Grocery Rebate was announced in Budget 2023 to help Canadians cope with rising food prices.
| Who Got It? | How Much? |
|---|---|
| Single adult (no kids) | Up to $234 |
| Married couple (no kids) | Up to $306 |
| Family with 2 children | Up to $467 |
| Seniors (with GIS) | Around $225 |
The payment was tied to the GST/HST credit, and no separate application was needed. But that program is now closed.
Why Are People Talking About a 2025 Rebate?
Recent articles from unofficial websites have recycled the 2023 rebate numbers and speculated that another one is coming in 2025. Some even claim a September 20, 2025 payment date. But these sources are not affiliated with the Government of Canada or the CRA.
At HustleHub, we verified this with multiple official sources — and found no mention of a new rebate for this fall.
