CRA-payment-dates-2025

It’s important to remember payment dates if you depend on Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) benefits to properly manage your finances properly. Knowing when you can expect to receive various payments, such as the GST/HST Credit, Old Age Security (OAS), and the Canada Child Benefit (CCB), can help you plan your monthly budget.

Depending on the benefits, the CRA will pay either monthly or annually. The CRA has published an updated schedule for the 2025 CRA Benefits Payment Dates. Every update is available to all beneficiaries via the Canada.ca board website. All Canadians should read the entire article carefully to be aware of all the pertinent information regarding the Canada Benefits Payment Schedule 2025, as we have covered all the necessary details.

1. Canada Pension Plan (CPP) Payment Dates in 2025

Payment dates for the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) are set once a month. Retirement pensions, disability benefits, survivor benefits, and the Post-Retirement Benefit (PRB) are all paid out by CPP. After retirement, CPP provides a taxable monthly benefit to people as early as age 60 or as late as age 70.

The Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB), an independent entity that oversees the fund to guarantee long-term viability, invests contributions received from employers and employees. For those who made the highest possible contributions during their careers, the maximum CPP retirement pension amount in 2025 is anticipated to be approximately $1,350 per month. 

Almost all working Canadians are guaranteed a certain amount of retirement income through CPP, even if they are not eligible for personal or workplace pensions.

3. Ontario Trillium Benefit (OTB) Payment Dates in 2025

The Ontario government offers low- and moderate-income individuals and families a tax-free payment called the Ontario Trillium Benefit (OTB) to help them cover the cost of sales taxes, property taxes, and energy bills. It makes it simpler for qualified recipients to handle their spending by combining three distinct benefits into a single monthly payment.

People have to submit their property taxes or rent paid during the year on their income tax return to be eligible for the Ontario Trillium Benefit. Based on the data in the return, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) automatically determines eligibility and determines the payment amount. The amount of the OTB varies based on adjusted family net income, housing costs, and whether the recipient resides in Northern Ontario.
