What happens if I check yes

The BC Sales Tax Credit is a program is designed to offset the cost of the sales tax for low-income taxpayers and their families residing in British Columbia.

The B.C. sales tax credit is refundable, so even if you do not have taxable income to report, you can get cash back from the government by completing and filing your tax return.

If you check "Yes" this credit will be applied to you. However, you should be aware if you are eligible to claim it. Please see the link below for additional assistance:
