There are a few great tax credits and benefits available to all Canadians. Some of those include:

Canada Child Benefit:

This is a tax-free monthly payment for eligible families with children under 18 years old. This goes to the parent or guardian of the child, but if there is split custody, the benefit can also be split. The amount you’d receive per child is based on adjusted family net income. For the benefit period of July 2024 to June 2025, the maximum amounts are $7,787 per year per child under 6, and $6,5705 per year per child 6-17 years old. There’s also a child disability benefit for children who qualify.

GST/HST Credit:

This is a tax-free quarterly payment for people with low-to-modest income. You don’t need to apply for this credit, as it’s given to you when you file your taxes if you qualify and is based on your adjusted family net income. For the benefit period of July 2024 to June 2025, singles can get up to $519 annually, and couples can get up to $680.

Dental Benefits:

There are two dental benefits. The Canada Dental Benefit is a temporary benefit for eligible families with children under 12 who don’t have access to private dental insurance. This is for families earning less than $90,000 per year, and can equal up to two payments of $650 per child for those who qualify. The Canadian Dental Care Plan is much more comprehensive – when fully phased in, it’ll be available for every eligible Canadian regardless of age who doesn’t have access to private dental insurance. You must have an adjusted family net income of less than $90,000. This benefit covers things like teeth cleaning, x-rays, exams, fillings, root canals, and dentures.

Canada Workers Benefit:

This is for those who work, but also have a low income. Alberta, Quebec, and Nunavut have different parameters for this benefit, so you need to investigate your provinces threshold to know if you qualify. There’s also a disability supplement if you qualify. For the other provinces, the maximum basic amount for singles on the 2024 return is $1,590 if they make no more than $26,149, and $2,739 for families that make no more than $29,833, plus a possible secondary earner exemption of $15,955. The amount provided gradually reduces based on income.

If you qualified for the CWB in 2023, half of your estimated entitlement for 2024 will be paid in 3 advance payments in July and October 2024 and January 2025.

Canada Carbon Rebate:

Okay, this one is a bit of an exception as it’s not actually national. It applies to every province except British Columbia, Quebec, and the Territories. This was once called the Climate Action Incentive, but was renamed this year. The Canada Carbon Rebate is a quarterly payment to offset the cost of the carbon tax we pay at the pump and on our energy bills. Each province has different amounts, and they all vary based on how many people live in your home. Families of 4 across the country can see anywhere from $760 to $1,800 depending on where they live. Anyone who lives in an area that’s considered rural gets a rural supplement of 20%. Fun fact: the entirety of Prince Edward Island is considered rural, so the 20% supplement is included in their rates.

Alberta

Some tax credits and benefits for Alberta residents include:

A Tax Cut.

A tax cut may be delivered in two stages with a tax rate of 9% on taxable income of less than $60,000 introduced in 2026 and a reduction to 8% finally implemented in 2027. However, it’s not yet guaranteed. The government said it’s contingent on the province still having the fiscal capacity (the money) to introduce the tax cut while still maintaining a balanced budget.

Tourism Levy:

As of October 1, 2024, online rental companies like Airbnb, Vrbo, and Expedia will be required to collect and remit the tourism levy on temporary accommodations purchased through their websites. Accommodation providers will continue to collect and remit the levy on bookings where they collect payment directly from the renter.

Electric Vehicle Tax:

As of January 1, 2025, a $200 annual tax will be imposed on the owners of electric vehicles, as EVs are heavier than other cars and cause more wear and tear on provincial roadways, while owners pay no fuel tax.

Alberta Child and Family Benefit (ACFB):

You might be eligible for the Alberta child and family benefit (ACFB) if you’re eligible for the related federal and the GST/HST credit. This tax-free benefit provides financial assistance to lower- and middle-income families with children under 18. The amount you can receive depends on your family’s income and how many children you have under 18.

You’ll receive your ACFB payments from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) in August, November, February, and May.

To learn more, visit the H&R Block Online Help Centre. You can also use the online calculator on the CRA website to find out how much you’re eligible to receive.

Seniors Discount:

In 2024-2025, a new 25% discount for seniors will be implemented for personal registry services and medical driving tests.

Alberta is Calling Moving Bonus:

While this is more for anyone not living in Alberta, the Alberta is Calling Moving Bonus is a one-time refundable tax credit of $5,000 for up to 2,000 eligible individuals with a skilled trades background who move to Alberta to work. Applications start May 1, 2025, for anyone who moved to Alberta between May 1 and December 31, 2024, so it’s time to start thinking about calling Alberta home. Also, you need to have filed your taxes in 2024 and show your 2024 Notice of Assessment.

British Columbia

If you’re a BC resident, some of the most common credits and benefits unique to you include:

BC Climate Action Tax Credit:

As of July 1, 2024, the maximum annual climate action tax credit payment will increase from $447 to $504 for an adult, from $223.50 to $252 for a spouse or common-law partner, and from $111.50 to $126 per child. Single parent families will receive the spouse/common-law partner amount for the first child in their family.

BC Renter’s Tax Credit:

As of the 2023 tax year, low and moderate income renters (singles and families) with an adjusted income of $60,000 or less will receive a tax credit of $400. The amount they receive is on a scale based on income, so it’ll diminish to $0 as they approach $80,000 in adjusted annual income.

This credit is applied for when filing your tax return.

Temporary BC Family Benefit Bonus:

The BC family benefit (BCFB) is a tax-free monthly payment to families with children under the age of 18. The amount is combined with the CCB into a single monthly payment. As of the July 2024 to June 2025 benefit period, recipients of the BC Family Benefit will receive a 25% increase to their monthly payments.

Home Flipping Tax:

As of January 2025, a new tax will be imposed on the proceeds from the sale of residential property in BC that was held for less than 2 years. The tax rate will be 20% for properties sold within 365 days of purchase and will phase out to 0% between 366 and 730 days. This won’t count if you’re selling because of a change in life circumstances, like divorce, death, relocation for work, losing your job, etc.

Farmer’s Food Donation Tax Credit:

This credit was designed to encourage farmers to donate certain foods they produce in British Columbia to registered charities like school meal programs or food banks. Qualifying foods include vegetables, meats, grains, and more.

This credit is worth 25% of the value of your donated products and can be claimed in addition to the charitable donation tax credit.

You can claim this credit if you’re a farmer or their spouse (which includes common-law partners) who donates agricultural products between February 16, 2016 and January 1, 2027.

For the July 2024 to June 2025 benefit period, the annual amount is $310 for residents of Whitehorse and $372 for all other Yukoners. You’ll receive quarterly payments in July, October, January, and April.

For businesses, the rebate amount is based on the undepreciated capital cost (UCC) of the assets used in your business in the tax year. A higher rate is provided for mining businesses.
