GST/HST Credit

Permanent Resident Status
1

Dear Sir/Madam,

Please advise me if I am eligible for the credit of GST/HST if I don’t live in Canada. I left with family a month ago and I am getting credit for GST/HST. I am not getting credit for Child Tax benefit as I received one communication from CRA that we are not eligible for CTB as we are not meeting residence requirement. I don’t know what is the criteria for that but I didn’t appeal for the credit as I don’t want CTB now. However, I am getting GST and HST at the end of month that also I am not sure if I am eligible or not. I want to know if I don’t live in Canada then I am entitled for this? If I am not entitled then what would be the process for return or to request to stop crediting the credit.

Please advise.

Thanks

-SK-
