Frequently asked questions

What is the solidarity tax credit?

It is a refundable tax credit paid by Revenu Quebec. It combines up to three components depending on your situation: sales tax, housing, and, for residents of the 14 northern villages of Nunavik, a northern village component.

What are the components and thresholds for 2026-2027?

For July 2026 to June 2027: sales tax component $363 per adult ($363 more for a spouse, $172 more if you live alone); housing component $906 for a couple, $746 for someone living alone or a single-parent family, $158 per child; northern village component $2134 per adult and $461 per child. The credit is reduced by 6% of net family income above $43,195 when two or more components apply, or 3% when only one applies. There is no universal maximum amount: the total depends on your household.

Do I need to apply?

You must file your 2025 Quebec tax return, and for the housing and northern village components, complete Schedule D (a Relevé 31 for renters, a municipal tax bill for owners). Without Schedule D, only the base sales tax component (and the spouse's, if applicable) can be paid. Direct deposit enrollment is generally required.

When are the payments made?

The frequency is not a choice: Revenu Quebec sets it based on the annual amount granted. $240 or less means a single payment in July 2026; $241 to $799 means quarterly payments in July and October 2026, then January and April 2027; $800 or more means monthly payments from July 2026 to June 2027.

Can ArgentQC calculate my exact amount?

No. The questionnaire treats this credit as a lead to verify: it does not collect a spouse's exact income, shared housing status, Schedule D status, or eligibility for the northern village component. Use Revenu Quebec's official tool or your notice of determination for the exact amount.

Can it be combined with the federal CGEB?

Yes. The solidarity tax credit and the CGEB are separate supports and can both apply to the same household. The CRA must confirm the CGEB amount.
