What is GST370 employee and partner GST/HST rebate?
If you deducted employment expenses as an employee, or expenses as a partner, on your income tax return, part of what you paid may have been GST or HST. Form GST370 lets you claim a rebate of that tax. The CRA says you may be eligible if your employer is a GST/HST registrant (other than a listed financial institution), or if you are a member of a GST/HST-registered partnership and reported your share of its income.
The form has three charts and a calculation. Chart 1 lists your expenses (accounting and legal fees, supplies, tools, motor vehicle expenses, work space in the home and more) by the tax rate you paid: 5% GST or 13%, 14% or 15% HST. Chart 2 covers capital cost allowance on motor vehicles, musical instruments and aircraft, and Chart 3 covers property and services brought into a participating province where you paid the provincial part of the HST separately. Part B then turns the eligible amounts into your rebate, which you claim on line 45700 of your return.
FileIt asks only for the columns you actually paid, works out every eligible amount, total and rebate line in dollars and cents, and prints it all into the CRA's own GST370 PDF. Your employer's business number, your SIN and names with accents print in the right boxes. The finished PDF is saved in your FileIt vault for your records; FileIt never files anything with the CRA for you.

How to fill out GST370 employee and partner GST/HST rebate, step by step
1 Part A: Identification
Enter your last name, first name and initials, the tax year of the claim, your social insurance number, and the name and business number of your employer or partnership. The employer or partnership must be a GST/HST registrant.
2 Chart 1: Expenses other than CCA
For each type of expense you deducted, enter the total you paid (column 1) and any non-eligible portion (column 2) under the GST or HST rate you paid. Column 3, the eligible amount, is column 1 minus column 2. The rows cover accounting and legal fees, advertising, food and entertainment, lodging, parking, supplies, tradesperson's and apprentice mechanic tools, labour mobility, musical instruments, artists' expenses, dues, motor vehicle expenses, work space in the home and other expenses. In FileIt you switch on only the tax rates you paid, and FileIt works out column 3 and the totals.
3 Chart 2: Capital cost allowance
Enter the capital cost allowance you claimed on motor vehicles, musical instruments and aircraft for which you paid GST or HST, with any non-eligible portion, by rate. The eligible amount goes to Part B.
4 Chart 3: Property and services brought into a participating province
Only for expenses where you paid the provincial part of the HST separately. The chart has columns for 1%, 2%, 8%, 9% and 10%. The form says not to include expenses on which you paid the full HST; those belong in Chart 1. FileIt totals each column and applies the fractions printed on the form (1/101, 2/102, 8/108, 9/109 and 10/110).
5 Part B: Rebate calculation
Line 4 is your eligible GST (eligible 5% expenses × 5/105). Lines 9 to 11 apply 13/113, 14/114 and 15/115 to the HST columns, line 12 totals them, and line 14 is the Chart 3 rebate. Line 15, the sum of lines 4, 12 and 14, is your rebate: enter it on line 45700 of your return. FileIt calculates every line.
6 Parts C and D: Declarations
Part C is completed by an authorized officer of your employer or partnership only if you claim a rebate for expenses for which you were paid an allowance that, when paid, they did not consider reasonable under the Income Tax Act. Part D is your own certification that the information is correct and complete and that you are eligible. You sign and date it.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Claiming when your employer is a listed financial institution, which the form says disqualifies you.
- Putting an expense in the wrong rate column: use the rate you actually paid.
- Including expenses on which you paid the full HST in Chart 3 instead of Chart 1.
- Forgetting to take off the non-eligible portion, such as amounts your employer reimbursed.
- Combining two tax years on one form: the form allows one year per claim.
- Leaving out Part C when you received an allowance your employer did not consider reasonable and you claim expenses it covered.
After you fill it out
Print the PDF and sign Part D. If Part C applies, have an authorized officer of your employer or partnership sign it.

Keep the completed form and your receipts in your FileIt vault. The CRA says to generally report any GST/HST rebate you receive on line 10400 of your return for the year you receive it.
