The Public Service Bodies' Rebate

Charities often operate with tight budgets while delivering essential services. To support these vital organizations, the government offers a valuable relief option known as the Public Service Bodies' Rebate ("PSB"). This rebate helps charities recover a portion of the GST and federal part of the HST paid on eligible purchases.
