The Ontario Trillium Benefit bundles three credits into one monthly payment:
- OEPTC (Ontario Energy and Property Tax Credit): help with energy costs and property tax/rent
- NOEC (Northern Ontario Energy Credit): additional amount for Northern Ontario residents
- OSTC (Ontario Sales Tax Credit): offsets provincial sales tax portion of HST
How it’s paid
Monthly if total entitlement exceeds $360/year; otherwise lump-sum in July. You can elect to take it all at once in June of the next year by checking a box on your tax return.
