Last Update: July 5, 2026
Latest change: Supporting guidance and related forms now refer to the Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit (CGEB) instead of the GST/HST credit, with updated RC151 and RC66 form versions.
GST/HST Credit renamed to CGEB
The supporting documents page now applies to the Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit instead of the GST/HST credit, and the overview page now names the benefit as Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit (formerly the GST/HST credit). This is a broad scope and audience rebranding change for the benefit guidance, not a change to payment timing or amounts. Related form pages were also updated: RC151 advanced from version 25e to 26e, and RC66 advanced from version 25e to 26e for the accessible fillable and standard print PDFs. On RC66, the large print PDF and e-text links were removed, and the alternate-format ordering link remains available.
