Ontario residents may want to keep an eye on their bank accounts, as the monthly Ontario Trillium Benefit (OTB) payments are scheduled to be distributed early. Eligible Ontario residents who are registered to receive the payment can expect to see the deposit in their bank account on Friday, Aug. 8. The OTB is a tax-free combination of three payments: the Ontario Energy and Property Tax Credit, the Northern Ontario Energy Credit, and the Ontario Sales Tax Credit. The Northern Ontario Energy Credit is designed to assist low- to moderate-income residents with higher energy costs associated with living in the north. Ontario residents can also expect Canada Child Benefit and Child Disability Benefit payments on Aug. 20.
