Which statement is incorrect with regards to non-refundable tax credits, refundable tax credits and tax deductions?
- Refundable tax credits are credits that will be paid to you if you are eligible, regardless if you owe tax or not. To claim them you must file a tax return. For example: Goods and Services Tax (GST) credit.
- Non-refundable tax credits can only be used against tax that you would otherwise owe. For example: Medical expenses.
- If the total of the non-refundable tax credits is greater than the taxes owing than you will receive a refund for the difference.
- A tax deduction, such as an RRSP contribution is deducted from Total Income to arrive at your Net Income for tax purposes.
- Other deductions such as net capital losses from prior years that are claimed against the current year's taxable capital gains, reduce your Taxable Income.
