This table presents maximum amounts for selected non-refundable tax credits. Further information on tax credits, as well as thresholds and rules to claim each credit can be found in the tax return guides for each province (except Quebec) on the CRA site at https://www.canada.ca/en/ revenue-agency/services/forms-publications/tax-packages-years/general-income-taxbenefit- package.html. Quebec residents can find information on federal credits on the CRA site and Quebec credits on the Revenu Quebec site at https://www.revenuquebec.ca/en/citizens/ tax-credits/.

1. The general factor, multiplied by the federal or provincial/territorial amount, yields the value of the federal or provincial/ territorial non-refundable tax credit. For Quebec taxpayers, the factor for each federal credit is reduced by 16.5% due to the federal tax abatement.
2. Where provincial/territorial surtaxes apply, the value of the credits shown will be higher by the factors indicated. 
3. For residents of Quebec, the maximum federal credit for QPP contributions is $2,991. 
4. For residents of Quebec, the federal EI plan does not provide maternity or parental benefits therefore the maximum federal credit for EI contributions is $664. The Quebec Parental Insurance Plan (QPIP) is a separate plan for maternity, paternity, parental and adoption benefits and for QPIP the maximum federal credit for contributions is $402. 
5. The federal education and textbook tax credits were eliminated effective January 1, 2017. Unused education and textbook credit amounts carried forward from years prior to 2018 will remain available to be claimed in 2018 and subsequent years.
