Record 3 2007-05-15

English

Subject field(s)
  • Taxation
  • Taxation Law
DEF

A deduction permitted under the Income Tax Act from a person's or a corporation's income in calculating tax liability. All the deductions permitted an individual, for example, are subtracted from his or her gross income. The resulting figure is taxable income, and it is on this amount that federal and provincial income taxes are levied.

OBS

[Deductions] include social insurance contributions, pension contributions, employment expenses, charitable donations, medical expenses and a number of miscellaneous expenses.

OBS

A tax credit differs from a tax deduction; a tax deduction is made from taxable income and brings greater benefits to taxpayers in high tax brackets whereas a tax credit is deducted from the amount of tax a person owes and is therefore worth the same to each taxpayer, regardless of income.
