Payment will stop if you don’t file your tax return

To keep getting your Canada child benefit (CCB) and related provincial and territorial payments, you must file your tax return on time every year. If you have a spouse or common-law partner, they also have to file their tax return on time every year.

You must file your tax return even if your income is tax-exempt or you have no income.

If you don’t file your tax return every year, your payments will stop.

Your CCB payment is not taxable. This means that you will not receive a slip, and you don’t have to report it on your tax return.

If you have a modest income and a simple tax situation, volunteers at a free tax clinic may be able to complete your tax return for you. Find out if you can get your taxes done for free
