Canada’s Federal Administration has set up the Canada Revenue Agency that looks at all national taxes and benefits. Several Provincial Administrations also rely on CRA (Canada Revenue Agency) to handle the benefit credits and taxes of the citizens. In general, people in Canada are served by the Federal, Provincial, and Territorial Administrations.
Today, we are learning about the Benefits these administrations provide to the residents and how Canadians can claim these benefits and credits, which are entitled to the same.
What is Canada FPT?
First, we need to understand the term Canada FPT. You may have seen “dn canada fpt” or something like that on your bank statement. That means you received a tax credit or refund for a program in the FPT system. Like, for example, a provincial carbon tax credit or the federal Goods and Services Tax (GST) credit. There are many kinds of PFT deposits, depending on where and how much income you earn.
In general, the Federal-Provincial-Territorial (FPT) tax credit is a system of tax incentives and relief measures designed to promote economic growth, social welfare, and fairness in the Canadian tax landscape. The FPT tax credit system is the collaboration between the federal, provincial, and territorial governments to deposit tax reliefs and programs into Canadian taxpayers’ bank accounts.

What is Canada FPT Deposit?
Whenever you see “dn canada fpt” in the deposit statement, it is one of the payments credit you are entitled to. This FPT payment is either processed by the CRA for federal benefits or Provincial and Territorial benefits.
You must be aware of the benefits you are eligible for. Maximum benefits are to be checked while submitting the Tax to the administration. For some benefits, you are automatically eligible.
What is Canada FPT on my bank statement?
Canada FPT” on your bank statement likely refers to a deposit from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) for a combined federal and provincial/territorial benefit payment. Here’s a breakdown:
-
Canada Revenue Agency (CRA): The CRA is the federal agency responsible for collecting taxes and delivering various benefit programs to eligible Canadians.
-
FPT: FPT stands for Federal-Provincial-Territorial. In this context, it signifies that the deposit combines benefits from both the federal government and your province or territory.
There are two main possibilities for what the Canada FPT payment on your statement represents:
-
GST/HST Credit: This is the most likely scenario. The GST/HST credit is a tax credit from the federal government that helps low and middle-income Canadians offset the cost of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) or Harmonized Sales Tax (HST). These payments are issued quarterly, with the most recent one being July 5th, 2024.
-
Canada Child Benefit (CCB) with Provincial/Territorial Payments: In some provinces or territories, the CCB (a federal benefit for families with children) is combined with additional provincial/territorial benefits into a single payment from the CRA.
Here’s how to determine which benefit it is:
- Check the deposit amount and date:
- If the amount matches the expected amount for your GST/HST credit (you can find this information on the CRA website https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/businesses/topics/gst-hst-businesses.html), and the date coincides with a GST/HST credit payment date, then that’s likely the source.
- Look for additional details:
- Some banks might display a reference number or description alongside the deposit that mentions “GST/HST credit” or “CCB.”
- Contact the CRA:
- If you’re unsure, you can contact the CRA directly for clarification. They can be reached at 1-800-959-8281.
