Previous bulletin
This information bulletin updates notice # 819 – Revised income brackets for the Canada Learning Bond (CLB) for the July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020 benefit year.
Purpose
The purpose of this information bulletin is to inform promoters and trustees that the income brackets used, in part, to determine eligibility for the CLB have been indexed for the July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021, benefit year.
Background
The CLB is subject to section 6 (1) of the Canada Education Savings Act which uses, in part, the adjusted income of a beneficiary’s individual primary caregiver to determine eligibility for the CLB. These amounts are indexed yearly, based on inflation.
The Canada Revenue Agency has released the 2020 indexation adjustment for personal income tax and benefit amounts. Due to this indexation adjustment, income brackets for the CLB eligibility have been established for July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021 benefit year.
Adjusted income bracket for the 2020 to 2021 benefit year
As such, for the July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021 benefit year, eligibility for the CLB will be based, in part, on the following:
