Grocery Rebate to Hit Canadian Bank Accounts Today

The CRA says approximately 11 million Canadians will receive the grocery rebate today in addition to the GST credit.

CANADA - Eligible Canadians will receive the grocery rebate today.

According to the Canada Revenue Agency, approximately 11 million Canadians will receive the grocery rebate in addition to the GST credit. 

Single Canadians without kids can expect an additional $234 in their bank accounts. Couples with children will receive an extra $467 and seniors will get an extra $225 on average.

The grocery rebate was part of the federal budget that was unveiled in the spring and the Liberals say the special payment will help with the rising cost of groceries due to food inflation. The Trudeau government provided a similar payment last fall.
