GST netfile also known as HST net file is an Internet-based filing service that allows registrants to file their goods and services tax/ harmonized sales tax (GST/HST) returns and eligible abatement directly to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) over the Internet.
How does GST netfile work?
The one who had done registrations access the online forms over the Ready to file page and enter the required information. Once they have entered the required information, they confirm that they want to file the data with the CRA. They will instantly get a confirmation number.
The advantages of using GST net file
It's fast, easy, and secure.

It's available seven days a week.

Who can use these services?
GST/HST NETFILE services are available to all GST/HST registrants, excluding those whose accounts are administered by Revenu Québec. For more information on this, whether you are able to use this service, you can check the eligibility section too.
Is GST/HST NETFILE secure?
The CRA doesn’t give access to browsers supporting Transport Layer Security (TLS). TLS is a set of rule that provides authentication, confidentially and data integrity between communicating applications. Using the required safety protocols and configuration, TLS provides a method of transmitting data securely across networks. Effective application of TLS will assist in diminishing the most serious threats with web-based applications such as eavesdropping, data tampering, and message forgery.
The Ontario trillium benefit (OTB) is the collective payment of the Ontario energy and property tax credit, the Northern Ontario energy credit, and the Ontario sales tax credit. The annual OTB license is generally divided by 12 and the payments issued monthly. If you are eligible for the Ontario energy and property tax credit, the Ontario sales tax credit, or the Northern Ontario energy credit, you can claim the Ontario trillium benefit. If your benefit is less than $360, you do not have the option of being paid monthly; you are paid annually in July. To qualify for the maximum amount in 2020, your adjusted family net income for the 2019 tax year has to be $35,000 or less (singles) or $45,000 or less (couples).
