i owe 3 grand.

Unfortunately I've been too lazy to setup direct deposit, so I'll have to wait for it in the mail. :(

Does anyone know what factors affect your HST credit that you receive every 3 months? Mine dropped from 146 to about 100, anyone know why?

Without knowing the details, since I'm not eligible for the credit:

- you made more money, reducing the amount of HST credit.
- if you indeed receive cheques quarterly, the government may distribute cheques with three, with equal amounts and one with the balance
- the HST credit amount may have changed.

The HST credit/rebate helps offset the tax burden for individuals with low income. if your income increased your hst rebate will decrease :).

Damn ppl still with school tuition still and kids. Haha I can't find more deductions gotta pay..

^ tradesman? tools? home buyer?

what do they consider low income do you know? I made over $30000 last tax season and got I think like $90 something and this year I made even more and my HST is apparently going to be 190. I got a 195 refund, not much but at least I'm not owing and this is extra money I would've spent if I had it and now I can throw it towards Riveria Maya :)

Getting around $1000 back. Time to get coil overs

Got mine in the mail 2 days ago.

I'm a student, and work part time. 70$ Not terrible, enough for an oil change or something.

In 2010 I worked for 4 months, got laid off and went on ei, went to school for my appreniceship on ei, and found a new job and worked for 2 months until the year ended.

Supposed to get 1600 back
I need it, I'm poor

full time, made about 30k
847 back

I got student loan interest deduction and tuition and im still only getting about 600 bucks back.. :fuuuuu: should be more!! :(

i grossed around 47k
i got back 100 bucks
that doesn't seem right...

I went heavy on RRSP's as I didn't pay a penny on tax for my second job... I hope I just don't have to pay anything!

what freebies can you claim?

for individual person

Getting 2200 back :woot2:

Why doesn't it seem right? If you don't have any deductions then you're paying just the right amount of tax.

As several people have mentioned already, getting money back isn't necessarily a good thing - it just meant you overpaid the government. Having to neither pay or get a refund is probably where you want to be. You get the most money in your pocket with every paycheck and you also don't have to pay come April.

With that said, I'm getting back $7600 this year. Most likely because I put in close to 20k into RRSP's this year. I'm going to have to look into taylor192's suggestion on the T1213. I'd prefer money in my pocket on payday rather than a lump sum in April.

haven't started yet...fuk

I didn't make an RRSP contribution this year and I'm going to be paying for it big time (at least according to UFile.)

Getting 900ish back

$0

1700 back while I only worked for 6 months, ei for 4 months, school (on ei) for 2 months.

Still it would have been better if I worked all year

perfect would be not owing anything, so i'd say its just about right!
technically if you owe money thats a good thing
