The government is proposing that the GST/HST be fully and temporarily relieved on holiday essentials, like groceries, restaurant meals, drinks, snacks, children’s clothing, and gifts, from December 14, 2024, to February 15, 2025. This tax break will make a meaningful difference for Canadians by making essentially all food GST/HST free, providing real relief at the cash register.
