Income Tax
How personal income tax works and how to file.
How personal income tax works in Canada
Federal + provincial brackets, residency for tax, the SIN, and why you file even with a modest income.
Filing your tax return
The April 30 deadline, T4 slips, NETFILE software, and the CRA My Account.
Taxes in your first year
What newcomers to Canada need to know about their first return — world income, becoming a resident, and credits you can claim.
CRA My Account and staying organized
Register for CRA My Account early — it's where your slips, benefits, refund and Notice of Assessment live, and it makes every later filing easier.
Deductions and credits most newcomers miss
RRSP contributions, tuition, medical expenses and childcare can all shrink your tax bill — but only if you claim them with receipts.
