What's new for 2009?
The income levels and most of the non-refundable tax credits used to calculate your territorial income tax have changed.
Form NT428, Northwest Territories Tax, reflects these changes.
Northwest Territories Child Benefit
The Northwest Territories Child Benefit (NWTCB) is a non-taxable monthly payment made to qualifying families with children under 18 years of age. The Territorial Workers' Supplement, part of the NWTCB, is an additional benefit paid to qualifying families with working income who have children under 18 years of age. Benefits are combined with the Canada Child Tax Benefit into one monthly payment.
For details on the payment amounts, read Pamphlet T4114, Canada Child Benefits.
There is no need to apply separately to get payments under this program. We will use the information from your Canada Child Benefits application to determine your eligibility for the program.
File your tax return - You (and your spouse or common-law partner) should file your 2009 tax return(s) as soon as possible. The information you give on your return(s) will determine how much you will get starting in July 2010.
This program is fully funded by the Northwest Territories. For more information, call 1-800-387-1193 .
