What's new for 2009?

The income levels and most of the non-refundable tax credits used to calculate your provincial income tax have changed.

There is a new refundable benefit to help families with the costs of their children's participation in cultural, recreational, and sporting activities. Each family can claim up to a maximum of $150 per eligible child.

The maximum tax credit for an investment in a federal government-registered Labour Sponsored Venture Capital Corporation has increased to $1,000.

Form SK428, Saskatchewan Tax, and Form SK479, Saskatchewan Credits, reflect these changes.

Saskatchewan Low-Income Tax Credit (SLITC)

The SLITC is a program designed to help lower-income Saskatchewan residents

For details on the payment amount, read Pamphlet RC4210, GST/HST Credit.

The SLITC is combined with the non-taxable quarterly federal goods and services tax (GST) credit into one payment.

To get payments under the SLITC, you (or your spouse or common-law partner) should apply for the GST credit on page 1 of your return.

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 SLITC you will get starting in July 2010.

The SLITC program is fully funded by the Province of Saskatchewan.
