GST/HST PSB rebate calculator

Estimate the Public Service Bodies' (PSB) rebate your charity is entitled to claim. Charities recover 50% of the federal GST/HST portion. The provincial portion of HST varies by province.

Non-charity NPOs must meet the qualifying NPO test (at least 40% government funding under CRA rules) to claim the PSB rebate.

Sum of GST/HST paid on eligible purchases — rent, utilities, supplies, professional fees, etc. Exclude GST/HST you've already collected and remitted as a registrant.

How the PSB rebate works

  • — Registered charities recover 50% of the GST or federal part of HST paid on eligible purchases.
  • — On HST in a participating province, charities may also recover a province-specific percentage of the provincial portion (Ontario 82%; NB, NS, NL, and PEI 50%).
  • — Qualifying NPOs must meet the CRA's government-funding test to claim under the same general framework.
  • — The CRA generally has a four-year filing window, measured differently for registrants and non-registrants.
  • — File on Form GST66 and RC7066-SCH where the provincial HST rebate applies.
