All the information you need to calculate your Northwest Territories tax and credits can be found in the publication called Completing your Northwest Territories forms.
Complete the following forms that apply to you: Form NT428, Northwest Territories Tax, and Form NT479, Northwest Territories Credit, and attach a copy to your return.
What's new for 2007?
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.
Under the NWTCB, you may be entitled to get a basic benefit of $27.50 per month for each child. Families who have earned income of more than $3,750 may also get the Territorial Workers' Supplement of up to:
- $22.91 per month for one child; and
- $29.16 per month for two or more children.
Families with net income above $20,921 may get part of the benefit.
There is no need to apply separately to get payments under these programs. 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 2007 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 2008.
This program is fully funded by the Northwest Territories. For more information, call 1-800-387-1193 .
