How old do you have to be to get the GST?

In Canada, there isn't a specific age requirement to receive the Goods and Services Tax (GST) credit; it is available to individuals aged 19 and older. However, individuals under 19 may still qualify if they are deemed to be independent and file a tax return. The GST credit is intended to help low- and modest-income individuals and families manage the cost of the GST. Eligibility is based on income rather than age.
