The income tax that is withheld at source from the eligible pension income will have to be allocated from the transferring spouse or common-law partner to the receiving spouse or common-law partner in the same proportion as the pension income is allocated.

For example, if the transferring spouse or common-law partner allocates 50% of their eligible pension income to the receiving spouse or common-law partner, 50% of the income tax withheld at source on that pension income must also be allocated to the receiving spouse or common-law partner.

If the transferring spouse or common-law partner and the receiving spouse or common-law partner have jointly elected to split the transferring spouse or common-law partner's eligible pension income, follow the instructions at Step 5 on Form T1032, Joint Election to Split Pension Income, to calculate the amount to enter on line 43700 of both spouse's or common-law partner's returns.

If the transferring spouse's or common-law partner's information slip(s) include(s) income tax deducted for both eligible and non-eligible pension income on the same slip, calculate the proportionate amount of tax deducted to be included on line O of Form T1032, as follows, for each slip:
