Canadians are receiving significant relief as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced a two-month GST exemption on various items, including restaurant food and children's toys. The Prime Minister stated that Canadians will no longer have to pay sales tax on Christmas trees, children's toys, and restaurant meals.
Additionally, Trudeau mentioned that his government will issue $250 cheques to many Canadians next year. These payments will be issued to all Canadians with an income of up to $150,000 after taxes in 2023, benefiting approximately 18.7 million individuals under the Working Canadians Exemption Program, with disbursements scheduled for early March 2025.
Regarding the GST relief, the government indicated that during the two-month period from December 14 to February 15, families could save $100 on spending of $2,000.
