Pension Income Splitting

Up to 1/2 of eligible pension income may be allocated to a taxpayer’s spouse on the tax return. This may result in a pension tax credit for the spouse. Eligible pension income includes several kinds of income, but not CPP or QPP, OAS, retiring allowances or RRSP withdrawals (except annuity payments).

Canada Carbon Rebate for Small Businesses – Not Taxable

Draft legislation was released on June 30, 2025, to ensure that the rebate would be tax-free. These rebates were received for the 2019-20 to 2023-24 fuel charge years. The final payment is for the 2024-25 fuel charge year. Information on tax return amendments for prior years will be available once the legislation receives Royal Assent.

Capital Gains Deduction and the Tax Return

In order to claim this deduction for the Lifetime Capital Gains Exemption (LCGE), Forms T657 and T936 (Cumulative Net Investment Loss) must be completed, each of which may require decades of financial data, depending on the taxpayer.
