Yes that's the one ..but you have to register for it & after about 5 days they mail you a password ..you then again log in & complete the registration .

You can see your entire tax file , past returns , future payments , credits etc & lot of other info after you log in

I'm not talking bout the HST or the OST just the GST. for example in July's GST say its 190 but October's is 450. I checked the my account thing and mine has doubled for October's payment.

Yup we are talking about the same too ... from now onwards the qtrly GST rebate/credit you have been getting so far is going to be called qtrly HST rebate/credit .

Since the HST is higher than the GST the qtrly rebate you get every 3 months is also higher .

So far its still showing up as October GST is $ 450 for you but very soon its going to show up as October HST is $ 450 once they update the file .

Not sure what everyone is seeing due to the site not working but I called the GST Line and we are for sure 100% NOT GETTING an increase for GST for the month of OCT just thought we would like to know!

Another nifty thing you can do with that service is change your bank account information, if you want to get your $$ deposited to a different account for example.

KK7, are you in ON? I think that's the only place this discussion applies. We've had HST for years in NS, now at 15%, and I haven't heard of any increases to people's cheques (we don't even qualify for any )

Yep in Ontario and the rep knew I was in ON he broke all the payments for me and said there is no increase so he is wrong or the site is wrong lol

When the site starts working again & you manage to log in into the My Account on CRA website you will see that your October 5 payment is almost double ( or maybe more ) than your July 5 payment ...I was told its due to the implementation of HST since July 1st in ON .

From here onwards the quarterly GST rebate/payment/cheque will be called quarterly HST rebate/payment/cheque , they won't call it GST rebate/credit anymore

[KK7]

lol oh I am so confussed so does that mean we will still get the transition payment of the HST and how come this young lad knew nothing????????

[ontgal33]

I don't think it's that no one believes you I think it's just that so many people have checked their accounts and have seen the payments increase so it doesn't make sense is all. Oh yeah and the people who work at the number you called are in a call center and from my experience of call centers the reps usually give you the easiest answer which is usually "no" rather than to look up information. LOL

I checked my account as well and it's more than doubled, who knows if it is more great if it isn't, whatever.
