"The Quebec abatement is provided under the federal-provincial fiscal arrangement, in place of direct cost-sharing by the federal government. It reduces your balance owing and may even give you a refund." (for details pls see the Line440 in The Guide)
In practice, when you file the paper return by yourself , always remeber this abatement as long as you have federal tax payable. If you have no federal tax to pay, this abatement means nothing to you. This 16.5% benefit could be missed because it is not from any slips and you have to calculate it by yourself (if you do your return with software, it is not a problem in most of times, but be sure you identify yourself as a quebec resident as only "Quebecoise" is entitled to this) |
