Income Tax Information

Pension Income Tax Credit

Taxpayers receiving certain pension income may claim both a federal and provincial/territorial pension income tax credit. This is a non-refundable credit, but can be transferred to a spouse or common-law partner if it is not fully used by the taxpayer. Any unused portion can not be carried forward or back. See the tables of non-refundable tax credits for amounts and tax rates.
