Ontario Trillium Benefit
The Ontario Trillium Benefit (OTB) includes payments from
the
Ontario sales tax credit, the
Ontario energy and
property tax credit, the
Northern Ontario energy credit and the
Ontario Senior Homeowners' Property Tax Grant.
The payments of these four credits will be combined to better
match with the expenses incurred by the taxpayers.
You must apply
and be eligible
for at least one of these credits to receive the
OTB.
If you have a spouse that ordinarily resides with you,
only one of you can claim the credit.
You can choose to receive one lump sum payment in the year or
payments on a monthly basis.
This credit is in addition to the GST / HST credit.
To claim the OTB using the program, please follow these
steps:
1- On the left side menu of the
