Indexation adjustment for personal income tax and benefit amounts
Each year, certain personal income tax and benefit amounts are indexed to inflation using the Consumer Price Index data as reported by Statistics Canada.
Increases to tax bracket thresholds, amounts relating to non-refundable credits, and most other amounts below take effect on January 1 of the applicable year.
Increases in amounts for certain income-tested benefits like the goods and services tax credit, the Canada child benefit and Child disability benefit, take effect on July 1 to coincide with the beginning of the program year for payments of these benefits. For more information on the benefit years and benefit or credit payments see Tax credits and benefits for individuals - Canada.ca.
The following chart provides the indexed amounts for four tax years based on the announced personal income tax and benefit commitments to date.
