What's new for 2007?

The income levels and most of the non-refundable tax credits used to calculate your provincial income tax have changed.

A new non-refundable tax credit, the graduate tax exemption, has been introduced for post-secondary graduates.

The former post-secondary graduate tax credit ended in 2006. Only the unused credits from previous years can be claimed.

Form SK428, Saskatchewan Income Tax and Credits, reflects these changes.

Saskatchewan Sales Tax Credit (SSTC)

The SSTC is a program designed to improve the fairness of the provincial sales tax for low-income Saskatchewan residents.

The SSTC provides up to $106 for an individual, $106 for a spouse or common-law partner (or for an eligible dependant), and $80 per child (maximum of two children), or an annual credit of up to $372 per family. The credit starts to be reduced once family net income exceeds $13,605. Families with net income between $13,605 and $38,404 will get part of the credit.

The SSTC is combined with the non-taxable quarterly federal goods and services tax (GST) credit into one payment.

To get payments under the SSTC, you (or your spouse or common-law partner) should apply for the GST credit on page 1 of your return.

File your return – You (and your spouse or common-law partner) should file your 2007 return(s) as soon as possible. The information you give on your return(s) will determine how much SSTC you will get starting in July 2008.

The SSTC program is fully funded by the Province of Saskatchewan.
