The first of the Ontario HST rebate checks, $100 for individuals and $300 for families, was supposed to be mailed out in early June, yet I haven't received anything yet. I live in a house that is subdivided to renters and everyone else living here has received their check. Anyone else not received their cash yet and who do I get in touch with to find out about this? I have a feeling it's not going to show up.

Did you file your income tax... it should have been directly deposited in your bank account. I don't get any, but the wife works in the bank and she said they had been deposited.

We just got ours on the 25th... I know people who received them a week or more before us.

Yours may still be coming.

Yes, I always file my taxes by the April 30th deadline and I rarely get any refunds. I usually have to pay. However, when I last received a tax refund, I received a check. I did not indicate direct deposit and have never received a tax refund by direct deposit.

Can I contact Revenue Canada? Most people I know have received their rebate, but asking people at work, there are a few, like myself, who haven't.

If you earn over 80K or so, you get nothing.

Wrong. I got my cheque last week.

Then you'd better send it back..... Here is an article from the Globe and mail.

Revenue Canada will be mailing HST rebates to 6.6 million Ontario residents this week, even though the 13 per cent sales tax doesn't take effect until July 1.

Couples with combined incomes under $160,000 will be eligible for HST rebates totalling $1,000, while singles earning under $80,000 will qualify for $300.

Premier Dalton McGuinty says Ontario is giving $4-billion it received from the federal government to switch to the HST back to taxpayers.

However, Opposition Leader Tim Hudak says Mr. McGuinty is trying to bribe taxpayers with their own money, and says the rebates will end next year but the HST will be permanent.

The HST rebates will be sent in three instalments — or directly deposited into your account, depending on how you get your tax return — with the next payments in December and June 2011.

I feel the EXACT same way with the GST rebate. And gee, a WHOLE $300??? Wow, that'll almost pay for half of how much more my gas is gonna cost me in the next year.

Thank you Uncle Dalton, yer a real sack of crap!!

I personally don't think we should get a rebate on value added taxes. Don't send me back a few hundred dollars a year, build a new hospital, upgrade our infrastructure or make a new park. I spent the money and I knew when I bought what ever it was that there was going to be a tax on it. No one should get a rebate regardless of income, this way at lest the lower income contribute something.
