(1) See the basic personal amount and spousal amount articles for information on the federal and Yukon personal and spousal amount increases. These increases are included in the Detailed Canadian Tax and RRSP Savings Calculator.

(2) For Quebec taxpayers, each federal tax credit is, in effect, reduced by 16.5% as a result of the federal tax abatement.

(3) See the information in the Nova Scotia Tax Credits article about the changes for 2018 and later years regarding additional tax credit amounts for the Basic Personal Amount, Spousal Amount, Equivalent to Spouse Amount, and Age Amount. The additional tax credit amounts are not reflected above.

(4) The PEI 2023 budget increases the basic personal, spousal and age amounts.

(5) n/a means there is no cap on the amount of medical expenses for other eligible dependants.

(6) Indexation: New Brunswick, Saskatchewan and the three Territories use the federal indexation factor. Nova Scotia and PEI do not use indexing for their personal income tax system. Manitoba only indexes the basic personal amount, and their other tax credits are not indexed.

(7) The Alberta 2023 Budget announced an increase in the Adoption Tax Credit amount to $18,210, the same as the Federal credit amount.

(8) The Manitoba 2023 Budget announced an increase in the Basic Personal Amount to $15,000 for 2023.

Every taxpayer gets a tax credit for the basic personal amount, so any person can earn taxable income of $15,000 in 2023 without paying any federal tax, and can earn anywhere from $8,481 to $21,003, depending on the province or territory in which they live, without paying any provincial or territorial tax.
