If you’re still calling it the GST/HST credit, there’s an important 2026 update.

Starting in July 2026, the GST/HST credit was replaced by the Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit, also known as CGEB.
The benefit is still based on information from your tax return, and eligibility depends on factors such as your income and family situation.

So filing your tax return remains important if you want CRA to determine your eligibility.

Using a business credit card does not automatically make the transaction tax deductible.
A credit card statement shows that you paid something, but CRA may require supporting documentation to establish what the expense was, who it was paid to and that it was incurred for business purposes.

That’s why proper invoices, receipts and other supporting records are important.
Your credit card statement is useful — but it may not be the whole record you need.

Supporting your parents financially does not automatically mean you can claim them on your taxes.
There are specific eligibility requirements for certain dependant and caregiver-related credits.

Factors such as your parent’s income, age, health circumstances and dependency can matter depending on the particular credit.
So paying your parent’s rent, groceries or bills by itself does not automatically create a tax deduction.

The eligibility rules matter.

Paid thousands of dollars for childcare?
Childcare expenses are generally treated as a deduction from income, rather than a regular tax credit.
There are specific rules about who can claim the expenses, eligible amounts, and annual limits.

So if both parents work, don’t automatically assume either parent can claim whatever amount they want.
The person claiming and the circumstances matter.

Spent $1,000 on medical expenses?
That does not mean you’re automatically getting a $1,000 tax refund.

Eligible medical expenses may qualify for a medical expense tax credit, which works very differently from a dollar-for-dollar refund.
There are also rules around whose expenses can be claimed and the 12-month period used for the claim.

So keep those medical receipts — but don’t assume the amount of your expense equals the amount of your refund.

Thinking about renting out your home?
Be careful — changing how you use your home can affect its tax treatment.
Renting out all or part of a property can potentially affect the principal residence exemption, depending on the circumstances.
The details matter, including how much of the property is rented, whether there is a change in use, and whether certain elections are available.

So don’t assume renting out your home has no tax consequences.

Own a rental property?
The rent you receive is generally taxable rental income and needs to be reported.

You may also be able to deduct eligible expenses related to earning that rental income, depending on the circumstances.
But there’s an important distinction between current expenses and capital expenses.

Not every dollar you spend on a rental property can simply be deducted immediately.
The type and purpose of the expense matter.

Bought a home for $500,000 and sold it for $800,000?
You might think, “I made $300,000, so I’m going to pay tax on that.”

But if the property qualifies for the principal residence exemption, the capital gain may be fully or partially exempt.
However, the sale and designation generally still need to be reported to CRA.

So again: potentially tax-free does not mean report-free.

Your business profit is not the only number you need to think about for taxes.
A business can have income tax obligations, GST/HST obligations and potentially CPP obligations depending on how the business is structured and how income is earned.

These are separate tax considerations.
So if someone tells you, “My business made $50,000, so I only need to worry about tax on $50,000,” that’s an oversimplification.
Your business structure and type of income matter.

Made a capital loss on an investment?
You generally can’t use that loss to reduce your regular employment income.
Capital losses are generally used against taxable capital gains.
A net capital loss can generally be carried back up to three years or carried forward to future years.

There are also special rules, including the superficial loss rule, that can prevent a loss from being immediately recognized in certain situations.
