The Government of Canada has tabled legislation for the proposed measure to provide GST/HST relief on certain items beginning December 14, 2024, and ending February 15, 2025.

To help businesses apply this GST/HST relief correctly, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has launched a webpage with detailed information on qualifying goods and services, and instructions for businesses that charge GST/HST.

This webpage includes:

• Which types of items would have GST/HST relief
• How to get this tax break as a shopper
• What to do as a business that charges the GST/HST

Businesses are expected to remove the GST/HST on qualifying goods at checkout as of December 14, 2024. This adjustment will remain in place until February 15, 2025.

This page will be updated as new information emerges to help businesses understand the GST/HST relief, and how it applies to their products.
