Formula
RRSP Dollar Limit
Earned Income - whats included in earned income and whats not included
PA of previous year
Chapter 10 - 3 straightforward exam - Need for exam, what is earned income.
82,000 - EI (after 3,000 deduction)
12,500 - business loss
4,200 taxable dividend
18,000 deductible spousal support to her fromer spouse
what is earned RRSP
Employment income = 82,000 + 3,000 = 85,000
Business Loss = (12,500)
taxable dividend is not included neither is interest
spousal support is included=tax payer so minus (18,000)
= 54,000 × 18%
compare to the RRSp dollar limit and see which ones less i think, this is in CPA sheet so dont need to know.
captial gain, divident, interest = are not included
how about she changed it to deductable child support payment = it wont be included in the calculation. ONLY spousal support is included.
Remember its the LAST YEAR INCOME - sometimes question gives more than one year and you have to pick which ones
always remember you can always carry forward the deduction.
options at retirement
money continues rolling
use the money to buy anniuty - then need to tax it but can spread it out over number of years
or just take out money and tax it (no one else will go for this)

chapter 11 - 5
determine amount of ABIL in 2023
capital gain deduction to offset taxable gain = 13.000
capital gain on publicly traded shares = 18,000
captial loss on arms length disposition of shares on as SBC(small business corporation) = 50,000
employment income = over 200,000
business investment loss = 50,000
Less: lifetimes CGD (26,000)
/ 24,000 x 50% = 12,000 —> ABIL
/ how about life time capital gain? the 26,000 will then become the ordinary capital loss and can offset the capital taxable gain (based on life time capital deduction you’ve claimed before Lifetime CGD)
26,000 - one have of which is deductable
Taxable captial gain is 18,000/2 = 9,000
Allowable capital loss: (13,000) which is half of the 26,000
so 9,000 - (13,000) = 4,000 will be carred over ( either backaward or forward since there isnt enought right now to offset
ABIL IS IMPORTATN NEED TO KNOW THIS.

caregiver amount for the child 2,499 - cant give because child is not under age 18

RRSP Dollar Limit
Earned Income - whats included in earned income and whats not included
PA of previous year
Chapter 10 - 3 straightforward exam - Need for exam, what is earned income.
82,000 - EI (after 3,000 deduction)
12,500 - business loss
4,200 taxable dividend
18,000 deductible spousal support to her fromer spouse
what is earned RRSP
Employment income = 82,000 + 3,000 = 85,000
Business Loss = (12,500)
taxable dividend is not included neither is interest
spousal support is included=tax payer so minus (18,000)
= 54,000 × 18%
compare to the RRSp dollar limit and see which ones less i think, this is in CPA sheet so dont need to know.
captial gain, divident, interest = are not included
how about she changed it to deductable child support payment = it wont be included in the calculation. ONLY spousal support is included.
Remember its the LAST YEAR INCOME - sometimes question gives more than one year and you have to pick which ones

Allowable Business Investment Loss (ABIL) - cover calculation from notes
chapter 11 - 5
determine amount of ABIL in 2023
capital gain deduction to offset taxable gain = 13.000
capital gain on publicly traded shares = 18,000
captial loss on arms length disposition of shares on as SBC(small business corporation) = 50,000
employment income = over 200,000
business investment loss = 50,000
Less: lifetimes CGD (26,000)
/ 24,000 x 50% = 12,000 —> ABIL
/ how about life time capital gain? the 26,000 will then become the ordinary capital loss and can offset the capital taxable gain (based on life time capital deduction you’ve claimed before Lifetime CGD)
26,000 - one have of which is deductable
Taxable captial gain is 18,000/2 = 9,000
Allowable capital loss: (13,000) which is half of the 26,000
so 9,000 - (13,000) = 4,000 will be carred over ( either backaward or forward since there isnt enought right now to offset
ABIL IS IMPORTATN NEED TO KNOW THIS.

caregiver amount for the child 2,499 - cant give because child is not under age 18

excercise: 4-5
single parent : takes care of 9 year old daughter
9 year old: physical infirmity no disability tax
what is tax credit for janice
eligible dependance tax credit - single parent slay = 15,000 - 0 (since no income)
caregiver for a child (under a seperate section) = 2,499
15,000 + 2,499 = 17,499
( REMEMBER ON THE NOTES PAGE 16 DEPENDANT TAX CREDIT THERES TWO CONDIITONS - second scenario - if child is not under 18, so we cant use this 2,499)
if janice was 20 years old she wouldnt have gotten the caregiver for a child since shes not under 17 BUT she would meet criteria for being not under 18 for eligiable depedance tax credit)
charity and medical - not on the cpa,
