Do I have to do my taxes even if I haven't worked?
Yes, it is important to file your taxes 🙂
- Tax credits and refunds : Even if you have no income, you may be eligible for certain tax credits or refunds. For example, the Solidarity Tax Credit or the GST/HST Credit are amounts that the government can pay you if you file your return.
- Social benefits : Your declaration is also used to calculate whether you are entitled to certain benefits, such as family allowances if you have children. If you do not file your declaration, you risk not receiving these amounts.
- Up-to-date file : Filing your declaration also allows the government to keep your file up-to-date, which can be important for other services or financial assistance.
