Quebec Tax Credits and Deductions Subject to
Automatic Indexation
The Quebec tax credits in this table are indexed each year
using the increase in CPI inflation. The index used is CPI excluding
alcohol, tobacco products and recreational cannabis. The average of this index from October
2022 to September 2023 is compared to the average of the index from October 2021 to
September 2022. The increase was 5.08%, which is used for the indexation
factor for 2024 amounts. Some amounts are rounded to the nearest $1, and
some are rounded to the nearest $5.
The Quebec 2023 Budget
reduced the 2023 tax rate for the lowest 2 tax brackets, which reduced the rate for
personal tax credits to 14%, but 4 credit amounts were increased so that the
tax effect for these would be zero. The basic personal amount rate is 14%
for 2023 and later years. The amounts that have been increased in 2023 are in bold print.
The 2024 indexed amounts have been confirmed to the Quebec
Finance Ministry Amounts.

The 2015 Budget announced that the
solidarity tax credit would be revised, with the amount to be determined annually rather than monthly, based on information in the tax return. The amount determined
would continue to be paid as of July in the following year, but depending on the value determined, the tax credit
would be paid on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis. Payments beginning in July 2016
were determined based on the 2015 tax return.
More detailed information on the changes can be
found at page A.17 in the 2015-2016
