Good news for Canadians! The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) is sending out benefit payments in June 2025 to help with costs like raising kids, paying taxes, and covering living expenses. These payments are a lifeline for millions, but not every benefit arrives this month, and dates depend on the program. Here’s a simple guide to June 2025 CRA payment dates and how to make sure you get your money on time.
What Payments Are Coming in June
The CRA handles several benefits, but only a few are scheduled for June 2025. These include the Canada Child Benefit (CCB) for families with kids and the Ontario Trillium Benefit (OTB) for eligible Ontarians. Other benefits, like the GST/HST credit or Canada Carbon Rebate, won’t arrive this month. Knowing the schedule helps you plan your budget and avoid surprises.
June 2025 Payment Dates and Details
Here’s a look at the main CRA benefits being paid in June 2025, including when they’ll arrive and who qualifies:
| Benefit | Payment Date | Who Qualifies |
|---|---|---|
| Canada Child Benefit | June 20, 2025 | Parents with kids under 18, based on income |
| Ontario Trillium Benefit | June 10, 2025 | Ontario residents, based on tax credits |
- Canada Child Benefit (CCB): This tax-free payment helps families with children under 18. The amount depends on your income, number of kids, and their ages. It may include extra provincial benefits, like the B.C. Family Benefit, in one payment.
- Ontario Trillium Benefit (OTB): This combines three credits—energy, property tax, and sales tax—for eligible Ontario residents. You get one monthly payment if you qualify for any of these.
- No GST/HST Credit: The next quarterly payment is July 4, 2025, not June.
- No Canada Carbon Rebate: The final payment was April 22, 2025, and the program has ended.
Why Some Payments Aren’t in June
Not every benefit comes monthly. For example, the GST/HST credit is paid four times a year, with the next date in July. The Alberta Child and Family Benefit (ACFB) skips June, with its next payment on August 27, 2025. To avoid missing out, file your taxes yearly and update your CRA My Account with your address, marital status, and bank details for direct deposit.
How to Make Sure You Get Paid
To get your June payments on time, set up direct deposit for faster and safer delivery. Check your CRA My Account to track payment status and review benefit notices for changes. If a payment doesn’t arrive within five business days of the scheduled date, call the CRA at 1-800-387-1193. Newcomers or temporary residents may need to apply for benefits like the CCB using Form RC66 after living in Canada for 18 months.
Stay on Top of Your Benefits
With over 71 million CRA benefit payments sent yearly, staying organized is key. Mark June 10 for the OTB and June 20 for the CCB on your calendar. File your 2024 taxes to keep benefits flowing, and check CRA My Account for updates. These payments can make a big difference, so don’t miss out. That quarter in your change won’t make you rich, but CRA benefits might ease your budget
