Line 457 - Employee and partner GST/HST rebate

You may be eligible for a rebate of the GST/HST you paid on expenses you deducted from your income as an employee (line 212, or line 229) or as a partner (lines 135 to 143).

Generally, you can claim this rebate if either of the following apply:

  • Your employer is a GST/HST registrant, other than a listed financial institution.
  • You are a member of a GST/HST registered partnership, and you have reported on your return your share of the income from that partnership.

To claim this rebate, if you incurred the expenses as an employee, use Guide T4044, Employment Expenses. If you incurred the expenses as a member of a partnership, use Guide RC4091, GST/HST Rebate for Partners. These guides list the expenses that qualify. They also include Form GST370, Employee and Partner GST/HST Rebate Application, which you need to make your claim. Attach a completed copy of this form to your paper return and enter on line 457 the rebate you are claiming.

Notes
Generally, you have to include in income any GST/HST rebate you receive on the return for the year in which you receive it. For example, you may claim a rebate on your tax return for 2011. If we allow your claim and assess that tax return in 2012, you must report the rebate on your tax return for 2012.

You mayhave received a GST/HST rebate in 2011. If you did and you were an employee, see Line 104. If you were a partner, see Partners rebate.
