Just a note to all you ladies who are going to recieve their first payment soon. Watch out for overpayment.
For example if you were single in 2006 and made 10,000, but then got married in 2007 and now you make a combined income of 60,000+. They asess you based on your 2006 assuming your single and sooner or later will want back what they overpayed you.
Thats the situation im in now. They are giving me 272/month and now e.i has recalculated because they think im low income and im getting an extra 100 from them. Argghhhhhh. So sooner or later i'll be getting a letter saying they've paid me too much and i wont be getting anymore for awhile.. Crapy. Oh and i've called Canada Revenu 6 times now and its still not fixed. Doesn't surprise me.

Was this for GST? I got the exact same letter. How do we owe money for a year we were not married? My understanding is that when you receive GST it is for the previous year. What does it matter what my combined income in 2006 was. Especially when I got married the end of November, two weeks before the tax year cut off.

They will probably claw-back a portion of the CTB. What they will likely do is adjust your future payments until you have paid back the portion you owe.

The gst tax credit might be assessed in the previous tax year but if you receive it the year you get married, they'll want it back if you make too much. Stupid..even when i was trying to understand the lady on the phone, SHE got confused with what she was saying.

Yeah, they took the GST money from the money we got back from taxes... we tried to fight them on it, but they don't budge. They just say "Too bad" even though it makes no sense.
