How to keep most of your paycheck in Yukon
Workers in Yukon can boost their earnings by reducing their tax liabilities by using all available deductions and credits before filing. Every paycheck automatically takes out EI premiums, CPP contributions, and federal income tax. Higher earners may also need to pay an extra CPP2 contribution. Moreover, you can lower what you owe with various credits and deductions, such as the BPA, the CEA, and RRSP contributions.
The deductions and credits that can reduce your tax bill are:
Employment Insurance premium: These are calculated at 1.63% of your insurable earnings, with a maximum deduction of $1,123.07.
Canada Pension Plan contributions: These contributions are set at 5.95% on earnings above $3,500, with a maximum limit of $4,230.45. Additionally, higher earners who earn between $74,600 and $85,000 are required to pay an extra CPP2 contribution, up to $416.
Basic Personal Amount: The first $14,829 of income is entirely tax-free at both the federal and Yukon levels.
CPP and EI Credits: Your mandatory contributions to the CPP and EI generate non-refundable credits that directly reduce the tax you owe. These credits can be found on line 43700 of your tax return.
Canada Employment Amount: A $1,501 credit is available to all employed Canadians, with a similar credit available at the territorial level in Yukon.
RRSP Deductions: Contributions to your RRSP will reduce your income reported on line 15000 before any taxes are calculated.
Employment Expenses: Eligible workers with a signed T2200 form from their employer can deduct home office expenses and other employment-related costs by using Form T777.
If you have investment income, your T5 slip or T3 slip contributes to line 12900 and other lines. Carefully tracking those slips ensures that no deductible carrying charges or losses are overlooked.
