What Is the Ontario Trillium Benefit?
The Ontario Trillium Benefit (OTB) is a tax-free payment that helps eligible residents cover:
- Energy and property-related costs

The OTB is made up of three parts:
- Ontario Energy and Property Tax Credit (OEPTC)

You don’t need to apply separately. If you qualify for any of these three tax credits and file your income tax return, the CRA will automatically assess your eligibility and calculate your monthly payments.
