Who knows about these things? Google, of course.
The GST credit, like virtually all government handouts, is dependent on your income. The more you make, the less you will receive. So everyone you have talked to may be correct, as it depends on how much money you are making.
The maximum GST credit is $63.25 per quarter. In addition, if you qualify for a GST credit in Saskatchewan, you are eligible for the Saskatchewan Low-Income Tax Credit, which maxes out at $56.50 per quarter.
You can calculate your GST credit here: http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/ebci/icbc/simnet/gstcCurr…
However, if you’ve been working since age 14, you should have been filing tax returns since then. Your last year’s Notice of Assessment will also tell you the GST credit you’re entitled to.
