The OEPTC helps low- to moderate-income Ontario residents with property tax and energy costs. Homeowners and renters both qualify. The maximum amount depends on age and living situation.
For the 2025 tax year, the maximum OEPTC is $1,248 for non-seniors and $1,421 for seniors. Residents of First Nations reserves or long-term care homes have different calculations. The credit is reduced when adjusted income exceeds the threshold.
To claim the OEPTC, complete the ON-BEN form when filing your Ontario tax return. Report your property tax paid or rent paid for the year. Keep receipts from your landlord as the CRA may request verification.
The OSTC helps offset the cost of the HST for low- to moderate-income individuals and families. Every Ontario resident who files a tax return may be eligible. The credit is calculated per adult and per child.
The maximum annual OSTC is $345 per adult and per child for the 2025-2026 benefit year. Single parents receive an additional supplement. The credit starts to decrease when family net income exceeds approximately $32,500.
No separate application is needed for the OSTC. Filing your income tax return automatically triggers the assessment. Even if you owe no tax, you must file to receive the credit.
The NOEC is available to residents of Northern Ontario districts. It helps with higher energy costs in northern communities. Families in Sudbury, Thunder Bay, Sault Ste. Marie, and other northern cities may qualify.
The maximum NOEC is $180 for singles and $277 for families for the 2025 tax year. This is in addition to the OEPTC and OSTC. The credit phases out at higher income levels.
Northern Ontario autism families face additional cost challenges, including limited service availability and travel expenses. The NOEC partially offsets these higher living costs. Combine it with other northern-specific programs for maximum benefit.
