Money Saving Tips for Canadians
- Be sure to apply for your Goods and Services Tax/Harmonized Sales Tax (GST/HST) credit.
The Goods and Services Tax / Harmonized Sales Tax credit is a tax-free quarterly payment that is designed to help Canadian families and singles with low as well as modest income, offset offset all and in some cases a portion of the Good and Services / Harmonized Sales tax that Canadian's pay.
Take advantage of the BC Family Bonus & Earned Income Benefit. This cash program is also designed for families with low as well as modest income with the cost of raising their children. The following web site will help you with additional details. http://www.sbr.gov.bc.ca/itb/fam/faq-fam.htm
The Canada Child Tax Benefit and National Child Benefit Supplement can provide up to $260 a month for qualified families Check their web site for more details. :http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/benefits/ncb-e.html
Contact Lenses: Anyone who has a medical need for contact lenses and is also in a certain income bracket, may qualify for some of the leading contact lenses company programs. I do know that Alcon is one of them, but I don't know the others. You will need to contact the corporate headquarters of the contact lens companies and ask if they have programs that assist patients whose income falls within a certain income bracket.
