When we try to claim the B.C Sales Tax credit it says $0 under the provincial summary. Shouldn't it be $150 ($75 each)?

We are married and moved from Alberta to B.C in May 2022. From what I've seen online it looks like we are eligible and should receive $75 each? I click the check boxes that we want to claim it, pick the person we want to claim it (I tried choosing each of us) and it always says $0 under the provincial credit summary.

    What is your income? If you have a cohabiting spouse or common-law partner, the credit is reduced by 2% of your family net income over $18,000, so if you have a high enough income, you won't get the credit.

    Ahh I misunderstood what it meant by reduces the amount by 2%.

     

    That makes sense, we would've have made enough that it reduced the credit to $0.

     

    Thank you
