Ontario sales tax credit (OSTC)
Ontario sales tax credit (OSTC)
The OSTC helps low- to moderate-income individuals 19 years of age and older, and families, including single parents, with the sales tax they pay.
Eligibility requirements
You may be eligible for the OSTC for any month of the July 2025 to June 2026 benefit year if you are a resident of Ontario at the beginning of that month and you meet at least one of the following conditions:
-
You will be 19 years of age or older at the beginning of that month
-
You had a spouse or common-law partner
-
You are a parent who lives or previously lived with your child
The OSTC is paid as part of the OTB. You do not need to apply for the OSTC. The CRA will use the information from your return to determine your eligibility and tell you if you are entitled to receive the credit.
