Northwest Territories

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

Getting ready to do your taxes 

Use this checklist to get ready to file your tax return. Filing a tax return on time will ensure you get all the benefits and credits you are entitled to and that your benefit payments are not delayed or stopped.

• Gather all your documents, such as T4 and T5 slips, receipts, notice of assessment and last year’s tax return.
• Find out if your tax return and payment are due on April 30, 2018.
• Update any changes to your marital status, address or number of children for benefit purposes.
• Sign-up for direct deposit.
• Find out if you can get help doing your taxes.
• Find out about the different ways you can file your tax return.

Did you know

There are benefits to filing a tax return even if you don’t earn income!

Filing early ensures your benefit and credit payments are not delayed or stopped. These include:

• Guaranteed income supplement (GIS)
• Canada child benefit (CCB)
• GST/HST credit and
• Working income tax benefit (WITB)

If you have a spouse or common-law partner, he or she should also file a return early. 

Getting the right benefit amount

Changes to your marital status, the number of children in your care, or your address directly affect your benefit payments. Let us know to avoid delays and incorrect payments.

Update your personal information with the CRA using one of these online tools:

• MyBenefits CRA mobile app at Mobile apps – Canada Revenue Agency;
• My Account at My Account for Individuals.

Do you have to file a return?

Some of the most common reasons when you must file a tax return are:

• You have to pay tax for 2017.
• The CRA sent you a request to file a return.
• You and your spouse or common-law partner elected to split pension income for 2017.
• You received working income tax benefit advance payments in 2017.
• You disposed of capital property in 2017 or you realized a capital gain.

Even if none of these requirements applies to you, you should still file a return if:

• You want to claim a refund.
• You want to claim the working income tax benefit for 2017.
• You want to receive the GST/HST credit or the Canada child benefit.

For other reasons to file, go to Your tax obligations.

Return due date

File your 2017 tax return on or before April 30, 2018.

Self-employed persons – File your 2017 tax return on or before June 15, 2018, if you or your spouse or common-law partner ran a business in 2017. However, file by April 30, 2018 if your business expenditures are primarily in connection with a tax shelter.

Deceased persons – See Guide T4011, Preparing Returns for Deceased Persons or go to Important dates for Individuals.

Payment due date

Pay any balance due for 2017 on or before April 30, 2018.

You can pay online or in person. For more information, go to Make a payment to the Canada Revenue Agency or contact your financial institution.

If you can’t pay your taxes by April 30, 2018, go to When you owe money – collections at the CRA.

Penalties and interest

Penalties – The CRA may charge you a penalty if:

• you filed your return late and you owe tax for 2017;
• you repeatedly failed to report income on your return; or
• you knowingly omitted or gave false information.

Interest – If you have a balance owing for 2017, the CRA charges compound daily interest starting May 1, 2018, on any unpaid amounts owing for 2017. This includes any balance owing if the CRA reassesses your return.

Ways to file your tax return

NETFILE – Use our secure service to complete and file your tax return electronically using tax preparation software or a web tax application. Go to NETFILE – Overview for a list of available software and applications; including free ones.

Remember

• Flip your slip! Look on the back of your slips for information on where to report an amount.
• Sign and date your return.

• Send your tax return to the Canada Revenue Agency.

Northwest Territories child benefit

This benefit is a non-taxable amount paid monthly to provide support to low and middle income qualifying families with children under 18 years of age. This amount is combined with the Canada child benefit into a single monthly payment.

There is no need to apply separately to get payments under this program. The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) will use the information from your Canada child benefits application to determine your eligibility for the program.

File your return – You (and your spouse or common-law partner) need to file your 2017 income tax and benefit return(s) to receive the Northwest Territories child benefit. The information you give on your return(s) will determine how much you will get starting in July 2018. To make sure your payments arrive on time, the return(s) should be filed by April 30, 2018.

This program is fully funded by the Northwest Territories.

For more information about this program, go to Northwest Territories child benefit or call the CRA at 1-800-387-1193.

Completing your Northwest Territories forms

You can download and print a copy of Form NT428, Northwest Territories Tax, and Form NT479, Northwest Territories Credit, which you need to calculate your Northwest Territories tax and credits. Complete the forms that apply to you, and attach a copy to your return.

The following information will help you complete Form NT428 and Form NT479.

The terms spouse and common-law partner are defined in the General Income Tax and Benefit Guide.

The term end of the year means December 31, 2017, the date you left Canada if you emigrated in 2017, or the date of death for a person who died in 2017.

Form NT428, Northwest Territories Tax

Complete Form NT428 if you were a resident of the Northwest Territories at the end of the year.

If you had income from a business (including income you received as a limited or non-active partner), and the business has a permanent establishment outside the Northwest Territories, complete Form T2203, Provincial and Territorial Taxes for 2017 – Multiple Jurisdictions, instead of completing Form NT428.

You also have to complete Form NT428 if you were a non-resident of Canada in 2017 and you earned income from employment in the Northwest Territories or received income from a business with a permanent establishment only in the Northwest Territories.

Step 1 – Northwest Territories non-refundable tax credits

The eligibility criteria and rules for claiming most of the Northwest Territories non-refundable tax credits are the same as for the federal non-refundable tax credits. However, the value and calculation of most Northwest Territories non-refundable tax credits are different from the corresponding federal credits.

Newcomers to Canada and emigrants

If you prorated any of the amounts you claimed on lines 300 to 307, 316, 318, 324, and 326 of your federal Schedule 1, you have to prorate the corresponding territorial amounts on lines 5804 to 5820, 5840, 5844, 5848, 5860, and 5864.

Line 5804 – Basic personal amount

Claim $14,278.

Line 5808 – Age amount

You can claim this amount if you were 65 years of age or older on December 31, 2017, and your net income (line 236 of your return) is less than $82,990.

If your net income is:

• $36,430 or less, enter $6,984 on line 5808; or
• more than $36,430 but less than $82,990, complete the calculation for line 5808 on the Territorial Worksheet .

Line 5812 – Spouse or common-law partner amount

You can claim this amount if the rules are met for claiming the amount on line 303 of federal Schedule 1 and your spouse's or common-law partner's net income (line 236 of his or her return, or the amount that it would be if he or she filed a return) is less than $14,278.

Complete the calculation on Form NT428, and enter the amount on line 5812.

Line 5816 – Amount for an eligible dependant

You can claim this amount if the rules are met for claiming the amount on line 305 of federal Schedule 1 and your dependant's net income (line 236 of his or her return, or the amount that it would be if he or she filed a return) is less than $14,278.

Complete the calculation on Form NT428, and enter the amount on line 5816.

Line 5820 – Amount for infirm dependants age 18 or older

You can claim an amount up to a maximum of $4,733 for each of your or your spouse’s or common-law partner’s dependent children or grandchildren only if that person had an impairment in physical or mental functions and was born in 1999 or earlier.

You can also claim an amount for more than one person if each one meets all the following conditions. The person must have been:

• your or your spouse’s or common-law partner’s parent, grandparent, brother, sister, aunt, uncle, niece, or nephew;
• born in 1999 or earlier and had an impairment in physical or mental functions;
• dependent on you, or on you and others, for support; and
• a resident of Canada at any time in the year. You cannot claim this amount for a person who was only visiting you.

You can claim an amount only if the dependant’s net income (line 236 of his or her return, or the amount it would be if he or she filed a return) is less than $11,448.

If you had to make support payments for a child, you cannot claim an amount on line 5820 for that child. However, if you were separated from your spouse or common-law partner for only part of 2017 because of a breakdown in your relationship, you may be able to claim an amount for that child on line 5820 if you do not claim any support amounts paid to your spouse or common-law partner on line 220 of your return. You can claim whichever is better for you.

How to claim this amount

For each of your dependants, calculate his or her net income (line 236 of his or her return, or the amount it would be if he or she filed a return). Complete the calculation for line 5820 on the Territorial Worksheet.

The CRA may ask for a signed statement from a medical practitioner showing the nature of the impairment, when the impairment began, what the duration of the impairment is expected to be, and that because of an impairment in physical or mental functions, the person is, and will continue to be, dependent on others.

Claim made by more than one person – If you and another person support the same dependant, you can split the claim for that dependant. However, the total amount of your claim and the other person’s claim cannot exceed the maximum amount allowed for that dependant.

Line 5824 – CPP or QPP contributions through employment

Enter on this line the amount you claimed on line 308 of your federal Schedule 1.

Line 5828 – CPP or QPP contributions on self-employment and other earnings

Enter on this line the amount you claimed on line 310 of your federal Schedule 1.

Line 5832 – Employment insurance premiums through employment

Enter on this line the amount you claimed on line 312 of your federal Schedule 1.

Line 5829 – Employment insurance premiums on self-employment and other eligible earnings

Enter on this line the amount you claimed on line 317 of your federal Schedule 1.

Line 5836 – Pension income amount

You can claim this amount if you met the rules for claiming the amount on line 314 of federal Schedule 1.

The amount you can claim on line 5836 is the amount on line 314 of your federal Schedule 1, or $1,000, whichever is less.

Line 5840 – Caregiver amount

If at any time in 2017 you (alone or with another person) kept a dwelling where you and one or more of your dependants lived, you may be able to claim a maximum amount of $4,733 for each dependant.

Each dependant must have been one of the following persons:

• your or your spouse’s or common-law partner’s child or grandchild; or
• your or your spouse’s or common-law partner’s brother, sister, niece, nephew, aunt, uncle, parent, or grandparent who was resident in Canada. You cannot claim this amount for a person who was only visiting you.

Also, each dependant must meet all the following conditions. The person must have:

• been 18 years of age or older when he or she lived with you;
• had a net income in 2017 (line 236 of his or her return, or the amount it would be if he or she filed a return) of less than $20,896; and
• been dependent on you because of an impairment in physical or mental functions, or if he or she is your or your spouse’s or common-law partner’s parent or grandparent, born in 1952 or earlier.

If you had to make support payments for a child, you cannot claim an amount on line 5840 for that child. However, if you were separated from your spouse or common-law partner for only part of 2017 because of a breakdown in your relationship, you may be able to claim an amount for that child on line 5840 (in addition to any allowable amounts on lines 5816 and 5848) if you do not claim any support amounts paid to your spouse or common-law partner on line 220 of your return. You can claim whichever amount is better for you.

How to claim this amount

For each of your dependants, calculate his or her net income (line 236 of his or her return, or the amount it would be if he or she filed a return). Complete the calculation for line 5840 on the Territorial Worksheet.

Claim made by more than one person – If you and another person support the same dependant, you can split the claim for that dependant. However, the total of your claim and the other person’s claim cannot be more than the maximum amount allowed for that dependant.

If anyone (including you) can claim this amount for a dependant, no one can claim an amount on line 5820 for that dependant. If anyone other than you claims an amount on line 5816 for a dependant, you cannot claim an amount on line 5840 for that dependant. 

Line 5844 – Disability amount (for self)

You can claim this amount if you met the rules for claiming the amount on line 316 of federal Schedule 1.

If you were 18 years of age or over at the end of the year, enter $11,579 on line 5844.

If you were under 18 years of age at the end of the year, you may be eligible to claim a supplement up to a maximum of $4,733 in addition to the base amount of $11,579. Complete the calculation for line 5844 on the Territorial Worksheet.

Supporting documents – If you are filing online, keep all your documents in case we ask to see them later. If you are filing a paper return, attach your completed Schedule NT(S11), but do not send your other documents. Keep all your documents in case we ask to see them later.

Transferring and carrying forward amounts

You may not need all of your 2017 tuition and education amounts to reduce your territorial income tax to zero. In this case, you can transfer all or some of the unused part to one person, either your spouse or common-law partner (who would claim it on line 5864) or your or your spouse's or common-law partner's parent or grandparent (who would claim it on line 5860).

You can only transfer an amount to your parent or grandparent, or your spouse's or common-law partner's parent or grandparent, if your spouse or common-law partner does not claim an amount for you on line 5812 or 5864.

To designate who can claim the transferred amount and to specify the amount this person can claim, complete the "Transfer/Carryforward of unused amount" section of Schedule NT(S11) to calculate the territorial amount available to transfer, as well as the related form: 

• T2202A, Tuition and Enrolment Certificate;
• TL11A, Tuition and Enrolment Certificate – University Outside Canada;
• TL11B, Tuition and Enrolment Certificate – Flying School or Club; or
• TL11C, Tuition and Enrolment Certificate – Commuter to the United States.

The transferred amount may be different from the amount calculated for the same person on your federal Schedule 11. Enter the territorial amount you are transferring on line 20 of your Schedule NT(S11).

Complete the "Transfer/Carryforward of unused amount" section of Schedule NT(S11) to calculate the amount you can carry forward to a future year. This amount corresponds to the part of your tuition and education amounts you do not need to use (and do not transfer) for the year.

Line 5860 – Tuition and education amounts transferred from a child

If you are the parent or grandparent of a student or his or her spouse or common-law partner, the student may be able to transfer to you all or part of his or her unused tuition and education amounts for 2017. The maximum transferable amount from each student is $5,000 minus the amounts he or she uses, even if there is still an unclaimed part.

Enter on line 5860 the total of all territorial amounts that each student has transferred to you as shown on his or her Form T2202A, TL11A, TL11B, or TL11C.

Supporting documents – If you are filing online or filing a paper return, do not send any documents. Keep all your documents in case we ask to see them later. The student must attach Schedule NT(S11) to his or her paper return.

Line 5864 – Amounts transferred from your spouse or common-law partner

You can claim these amounts if the rules are met for claiming an amount on line 326 of federal Schedule 1.

Complete Schedule NT(S2), Territorial Amounts Transferred From Your Spouse or Common-law Partner, and attach a copy to your return.

Line 5868 – Medical expenses for self, spouse or common-law partner, and your dependent children born in 2000 or later

The medical expenses you can claim on line 5868 are the same as those you can claim on line 330 of your federal Schedule 1. They have to cover the same 12-month period ending in 2017, and no one claimed them on a 2016 return.

Line 5872 – Allowable amount of medical expenses for other dependants

In addition to the medical expenses claimed on line 5868, you can also claim medical expenses for other dependants.

The medical expenses you can claim on line 5872 are the same as those you can claim on line 331 of your federal Schedule 1. They have to cover the same 12-month period ending in 2017, and no one claimed them on a 2016 return.

The maximum amount you can claim is $5,000 for each dependant.

Complete the calculation for line 5872 on the Territorial Worksheet.

Line 5896 – Donations and gifts

Enter the amounts from lines 16 and 17 of your federal Schedule 9 and multiply them by the rates on lines 26 and 27 of Form NT428.

Step 2 – Northwest Territories tax on taxable income

Enter on line 30 your taxable income from line 260 of your return. Complete the appropriate column depending on the amount entered.

Step 3 – Northwest Territories tax

Line 39 – Northwest Territories tax on split income

If you have to pay federal tax on split income on line 424 of your federal Schedule 1, complete Part 2 of Form T1206, Tax on Split Income, to calculate the Northwest Territories tax that applies to this income.

Form T1206 also contains a special rule that applies to the amount you enter on line 428 of your return. For more information on tax on split income, see the General Income Tax and Benefit Guide.

Line 46 – Northwest Territories additional tax for minimum tax purposes

To do this, complete the calculation on line 46 of Form NT428.

For more information about minimum tax, see the General Income Tax and Benefit Guide.

Line 48 – Territorial foreign tax credit

If your federal foreign tax credit on non-business income is less than the related tax you paid to a foreign country, you may be eligible to claim a territorial foreign tax credit.

To claim this credit, complete Form T2036, Provincial or Territorial Foreign Tax Credit.

Enter on line 48 of Form NT428, the amount from line 5 of Form T2036.

Supporting documents – If you are filing online, keep all your documents in case we ask to see them later. If you are filing a paper return, attach your Form T2036.

• For contributions of $100 or less, enter the amount of your contributions on line 51 of Form NT428.
• For contributions of more than $100 but not more than $900, complete the calculation for line 51 on the Territorial Worksheet.

Supporting documents – If you are filing online, keep all your documents in case we ask to see them later. If you are filing a paper return, for each contribution attach the official receipt signed by an official agent of the candidate.

Form NT479, Northwest Territories Credit

Lines 1 to 14 – Cost of living tax credit

If you were a resident of the Northwest Territories at the end of the year, you can claim the cost of living tax credit, which may include a supplement for you and your spouse or common-law partner. If your credit is more than the tax you owe, you will receive a refund for the difference.

If you had a spouse or common-law partner on December 31, 2017, and you and your spouse or common-law partner are eligible for the cost of living tax credit supplement, you and your spouse or common-law partner have to decide which one of you will claim this supplement as only one of you can claim this credit for your family.

As a resident of the Northwest Territories, you or your spouse or common-law partner may have income from a business with a permanent establishment outside the Northwest Territories. If so, enter, on line 1 of Form NT479, the net income allocated to the Northwest Territories from column 4 of Form T2203, Provincial and Territorial Taxes for 2017 – Multiple Jurisdictions.
