Saskatchewan benefits for individuals and families
To make sure you get your payments on time, you and your spouse or common-law partner need to file your 2025 income tax and benefit return(s) by April 30, 2026. The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) will use the information from your return(s) to calculate the payments you are entitled to get from the following program:
- Saskatchewan low-income tax credit
This credit is a non-taxable amount paid to help Saskatchewan residents with low and modest incomes. This amount is combined with the quarterly payments of the federal goods and services tax / harmonized sales tax (GST/HST) credit.
You do not need to apply for the GST/HST credit or the Saskatchewan low-income tax credit. The CRA will use the information from your return to determine if you are entitled to receive this credit.
The Saskatchewan low-income tax credit is fully funded by the province. For more information, go to Province of Saskatchewan or call the CRA at 1-800-387-1193.

Only one individual can claim the AFB for a child.
Adjusted family income
Complete lines 1 to 6 on Form SK479 using the information from your and your spouse's or common-law partner's returns for the year. If your adjusted family income was more than $120,000, your AFB for the year is zero.
If your spouse or common-law partner died at any time during the year, do not include their income when you calculate the adjusted family income.
If you are claiming the credit on a deceased person's final return, do not include the surviving spouse's or common-law partner's income when you calculate the adjusted family income.
Eligibility under shared custody
Only one eligible individual may claim the benefit amount per child. Where an eligible child does not reside with all of his or her parents or legal guardians, the person who primarily fulfils the responsibility for the care and upbringing of the eligible child is deemed to be the parent whom both parents agree will claim the AFB amount for the child.
If the parents or legal guardians fail to agree on who claims the benefit, the claim will be made by the parent or legal guardian for which at least one of the following conditions applies:
- has a court order or a written agreement specifying the primary care giver for the child
- has been granted sole custody of the child by a court order or by a written agreement
- has a court order or written agreement showing the child resides with the parent for the majority of days in the tax year
In all other cases, no one will be eligible to claim the benefit amount.
Eligible activities
An eligible activity is one of the following:
- a sporting activity that provides exposure, training, or participation in any game or physical activity that occurs in an organized and competitive environment, involves large muscle groups, requires strategy, physical training, and mental preparation, and that has an outcome determined by established rules and not by chance
- a cultural activity that provides exposure, training, or participation in arts, heritage, or multiculturalism
- a recreational activity that provides exposure, training, or participation in programs designed to refresh, provide satisfaction, or entertain, and does not involve declaring a winner or any form of monetary reward, and provides physical or mental benefit
Prescribed program
To qualify for this benefit, an eligible activity must:
- be offered by a service provider located in Saskatchewan
- involve instruction and proper supervision of children by a service provider
- be suitable for children
- require children to actively participate
- require registration with the service provider and the payment of a registration fee or membership fee in order for a child to participate
Programs that are part of a school's curriculum or part of activities that take place in a day care are not eligible for the AFB.
Reimbursement of an eligible expense
You can claim only the part of the amount that you have not been, or will not be, reimbursed for. However, you can claim the full amount if the reimbursement is reported as income (such as a benefit shown on a T4 slip) and you did not deduct the reimbursement anywhere else on your return.
You can claim the registration fees paid for a child who died in 2025.
Bankruptcies in 2025
If you were bankrupt in 2025, you can claim the AFB on the post-bankruptcy return only and must use your income for the calendar year when calculating the net family income.
Supporting documents
Do not send any supporting documents when you file your tax return. Keep them in case you are asked to provide them later.
Saskatchewan Fertility Treatment Tax Credit (FTTC)
You may claim this credit if you were a resident of Saskatchewan at the end of the year and you or your spouse or common-law partner paid eligible medical expenses in Saskatchewan for fertility treatments or surrogacy expenses.
Only one lifetime claim per individual is allowed. You or your spouse or common-law partner can claim the amount, but you cannot split the claim.
Eligible expenses
To qualify for the fertility treatment tax credit, the expenses must be ones you or your spouse or common-law partner can claim as medical expenses on line 33099 of your tax return.
All fees must be paid to a health care professional, donor bank, a public or licensed clinic, or a public or licensed hospital within Saskatchewan.
The fertility treatment expenses must have been paid within any 12-month period ending in 2025.
Expenses that are not eligible
The following are not eligible:
- expenses that are eligible for reimbursement under a private insurance or similar health care plan, such as through private health insurance
- expenses for reversing a vasectomy or tubal ligation
- travel costs
If you are preparing a return for a resident of Saskatchewan who died in 2025, you can claim this tax credit on their return and optional returns. The total for the year cannot exceed the maximum amount allowable.
How to claim this credit
Enter the eligible medical expenses you are claiming for fertility treatments or surrogacy expenses on line 61268 of your Form SK479. The credit you can claim is 50% of up to $20,000 in expenses, for a maximum credit of $10,000.
Bankruptcies in 2025
If you were bankrupt in 2025, you can claim the FTTC on either the pre-bankruptcy or post-bankruptcy return, depending on when the expenses were paid. The total for the year cannot exceed the maximum amount allowable.
