Last year I received a tiny rebate and my (then) fiance still received a decent rebate for GST from Revenue Canada from tax year 2008.

Now we have a notice in the mail that since we are married (Sept 09) we no longer qualify because our household income is greater than the qualifying income, and have to pay it back.

Am I the only one who doesn’t understand this? In 2008 we weren’t married and qualified for a rebate- what does that have to do with getting married in 2009? Has anyone else had this happen? Seems fishy to me.
