Ontario residents are set to receive their Ontario Trillium Benefit (OTB) payment on June 10, 2025, based on their 2023 tax returns. This monthly credit combines three supports—the Ontario Energy and Property Tax Credit, Northern Ontario Energy Credit, and Ontario Sales Tax Credit—to help offset property taxes, energy costs, and sales tax. The Canada Revenue Agency administers these payments on behalf of the province.
Who Qualifies for the Ontario Trillium Benefit?
To be eligible for the Ontario Trillium Benefit, individuals must:
- Be an Ontario resident as of December 31, 2024
- File a 2023 income tax return, even with zero income
- Be aged 18 or older (Ontario Sales Tax Credit requires age 19)
- Have paid rent or property tax, home energy, or sales tax in 2023
Seniors, students, renters, and Northern Ontario residents may also qualify for additional entitlements. (canada.ca, narcity.com, facebook.com)
How Much Are You Likely to Receive?
Payout amounts are based on income, age, and household situation. Typical annual entitlements include:
- Ontario Sales Tax Credit (OSTC): Up to $360 per person
- Ontario Energy and Property Tax Credit (OEPTC): Up to $1,248 (age 18–64) or $1,421 (65+)—plus a $277 supplement for reserve or long-term care residents
- Northern Ontario Energy Credit (NOEC): Up to $180 (individual) or $277 (family) (trybree.com, getgis.org)
These figures are split into 12 monthly payments, unless the total annual entitlement is $360 or less—in which case the payment was made in one lump sum in July 2024—or you opted for a lump sum in June 2025. (canada.ca)
