Despite some online rumours to the contrary, there is no indication at this time that Government of Canada will make a Grocery Rebate payment in 2024.
In the 2023 Federal Budget, the Government of Canada introduced a one-time Grocery Rebate to provide financial support to eligible Canadians. This Rebate was issued on July 5, 2023, alongside the July 2023 quarterly GST/HST credit payment.
The Grocery Rebate was equivalent to double the GST/HST credit amount an individual received for January 2023.
Again, there is nothing to suggest that Canadians will receive a Grocery Rebate in 2024 as was the case in 2023. If this changes, it will likely be once the 2024 Federal Budget is introduced later this year. Pre-budget consultations are currently underway but no date has been set for when the federal budget will be introduced in 2024.
