What Are CRA Provincial Benefits?
CRA provincial benefits are tax-free payments made by the Canada Revenue Agency on behalf of individual provinces. These benefits help low- and moderate-income Canadians afford essential expenses like housing, energy, sales tax, and basic needs.
You must file your annual income tax return to receive these benefits—even if you had no income. Some benefits are paid monthly, others quarterly, and most are automatically calculated based on your tax return.
