Key Takeaways
- The Canada Grocery Rebate provided significant relief in 2023, and while a 2024 rebate is not yet announced, it remains a topic of interest.

The Canada Grocery Rebate: A Deep Dive
Understanding the Rebate
The Canada Grocery Rebate emerged as a pivotal response to the soaring grocery prices that have been a growing concern for Canadians. In July 2023, a one-time tax credit was issued, providing much-needed relief to millions. As we approach July 2024, the question on everyone’s mind is: will there be another payment?
While there are no formal announcements yet for a 2024 rebate, the precedent set in 2023 suggests that if a similar initiative is rolled out, it would likely be around the same time⁴. The previous rebate was calculated based on the 2021 tax return and was equivalent to double the GST/HST credit amount received in January 2023¹.
Eligibility and Impact
Who benefited from this rebate? It was targeted at low- and modest-income Canadians. For instance, a single mother with one child and a net income of $30,000 received $386.50, in addition to the $821 from the GST Credit². This kind of support can be a game-changer for many, providing a cushion against the rising cost of living.
