What to expect when the CRA calls?

Always be cautious when you receive a phone call from an unknown caller. When the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) calls you, the employee will identify themselves by giving you their:
- Name
- Phone number to call back

Never call the phone number that was given to you unless you have verified it yourself with the CRA.

If the caller left a voicemail message asking you to call back, you may be able to verify if it’s a CRA phone number.

Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit

In July 2026, the Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit (CGEB) will replace the GST/HST credit. Under the new program name, payment amounts will be increased, but the eligibility, payment calculation, and structure will be the same as the GST/HST credit. Quarterly payment amounts will increase by 25% for 5 years (from 2026 to 2031) starting in July 2026.

As a part of the transition to the new CGEB, an additional one-time GST/HST credit top-up payment will be provided to individuals who were entitled to receive the GST/HST credit in January 2026. This immediate support will be issued starting June 5, 2026.

Who is eligible
In most cases, you will not need to apply for the CGEB. Only new residents of Canada may need to apply using Form RC151.

Don’t miss out on benefits and credits: Why filing your taxes matters

It pays to file your taxes every year!
Filing your taxes every year isn’t just about reporting your income — it’s the key to getting (and keeping) the benefits and credits that help you with everyday costs, including the new Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit (CGEB). If you don’t file your taxes, you might be missing out on benefits and credits you’re entitled to receive.

Why it’s important to file your taxes on time
Your benefit and credit amounts for the year are calculated after your tax return is assessed. Starting in July each year, your benefit and credit amounts reset based on the tax return you filed for the previous year.
