Mobius loop: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle

You can help to reduce paper use by selecting 'No' to the GST/HST credit question on page 1 of your T1 return if you are certain that you are not entitled to a GST/HST credit payment. This prevents the issuance of a notice advising you that your income is too high to be entitled to the credit.

If your family structure includes more than 4 children and you are uncertain if you are entitled for the GST/HST credit, you should select 'Yes' on the GST/HST credit portion of your T1 return.
