11 Access to Banking: Banks started leaving inner-city and lower-income neighbourhoods in the 1990 s Pawn shops, payday lenders, and cheque-cashing outlets moved in to replace them Without easy access to banking services, residents became dependent on these companies, who charged high fees for small loans and cheque-cashing services SEED had an existing relationship with Assiniboine Credit Union (ACU); along with other organisations and individuals, they came together to address the issue The ACU branch at McGregor & College opened in 2012 Community Referral Program: ACU has partnered with over 20 community organisations to provide no-fee bank accounts to low-income individuals These accounts can be accessed with only one piece of ID and a letter from the referring organisation

13 Tax filing is a Gateway to benefits in two ways: 1. Through accessing benefits as part of a tax return via: i. Non-refundable credits that might increase a refund or reduce a balance owed for a person with taxable income ii. Refundable credits that increase a refund (or reduce a balance owed) 2. Tax information is used to determine eligibility for other benefit programs that might provide: i. A direct monetary impact (e.g. Rent Assist program benefits that provide monthly income to help pay rent or children s disability benefit added to the monthly Canada Child Benefit for a child that qualifies for the Disability Tax Credit) ii. An indirect monetary impact (e.g. Manitoba Pharmacare program that ensures lower income earners with eligible medical costs pay a lower deductible, or eligibility for subsidized housing based on ) iii. Access to other Government programs to assist low income Canadians plan for the future (e.g. Canada Learning Bond/Canada Education Savings Grant via an RESP or Canada Disability Savings Bond/Grant via a RDSP)
14 1. Accessing benefits as part of a tax return: i. Non-refundable Tax Credits: Non-refundable tax credits essentially balance taxable income since they are calculated at the same rate as the lowest federal tax rate The more non-refundable credits a participant has, the more income they can earn before they start paying tax Once their non-refundable tax credits are equal or greater to their income they would have $0 federal tax to pay they gain no further benefit from adding more non-refundable credit amounts since one cannot pay less than $0 taxes and since these are NON-refundable credits they do not generate a refund if one has extra
15 Example: A participant has a T slip showing income of $ The Basic Personal Amount (a non-refundable tax credit that everyone is eligible to claim) is $ This participant will pay $0 in federal tax because their income is LESS THAN the Basic Personal Amount. They are non-taxable. If they also had a spouse with no income they can claim an additional $11474 as a non-refundable credit for a dependent spouse. Their total non-refundable credits would now be $ Their federal taxes owed would still be $0. Once you are non-taxable you are paying $0 in federal tax you can t pay less than that!
16 Common Non-refundable Tax Credits: NON-REFUNDABLE CREDIT Basic Personal Amount $11474 Age Amount $7125 Spousal Amount $11474 Eligible Dependent Amount $11474 Pension Amount $2000 Disability Tax Credit $ AMOUNT
17 Disability Tax Credit (DTC) a commonly misunderstood non-refundable tax credit: DTC is a non-refundable tax credit (2016 basic amount of $8001) This means someone who is already non-taxable will often see little benefit on their tax return from being eligible for this credit DTC requires medical details provided to the CRA by a medical practitioner before a claim can be made on a tax return (Form T2201) CRA reviews the medical details and sends individual a Notice of Determination stating whether the DTC has been allowed and for which tax years DTC can be allowed permanently (no further medical proof required in subsequent tax years) or just for a period of time (requires repeat submission of the medical documents to continue the claim beyond the allotted time) DTC can be transferred to related tax payer if not required by eligible individual to reduce tax payable to $0 DTC can be applied retroactively to past 10 years if applicable - CRA DTC form T2201 now allows client to tick a box to automatically have prior years adjusted if DTC eligibility is granted A child eligible for the DTC is automatically eligible for the Children s Disability Benefit top up to the Canada Child Benefit (CCB) a maximum additional benefit of $2730 per child
18 1. Accessing benefits as part of a tax return (con t): ii. Refundable Credits: Refundable credits can generate refunds for eligible tax filers even if they have no income and have paid no taxes If there are no taxes payable all refundable credits will be paid in full to the client If the client has some taxes payable on their income, but the refundable credits exceed this amount, the difference will be paid to the client as a refund If the client has taxes payable on their income, but also has some refundable credits, the refundable credits will be used to lower the balance owed
19 Example: (Same example used above) A participant has a T slip showing income of $ The Basic Personal Amount (a nonrefundable tax credit that everyone is eligible to claim) is $ This participant will pay $0 in federal tax because their income is LESS THAN the Basic Personal Amount. They are non-taxable. If they also had a spouse with no income they can claim an additional $11474 as a non-refundable credit for a dependent spouse. Their total non-refundable credits would now be $ Their federal taxes owed would still be $0. Once you are non-taxable you are paying $0 in federal tax you can t pay less than that! If this participant happened to have $400 tax taken off their income source they will get it all paid back to them as part of a refund since they owe $0 federal tax the CRA will return to them the tax that was taken off at source as it was unnecessary and tax at source is a REFUNDABLE tax credit
20 Common Refundable Credits: TAX FILING AND ACCESS TO BENEFITS FORUM REFUNDABLE CREDITS Tax withheld at source Overpayment of CPP/EI premiums GST credit Working Income Tax Benefit (WITB) 2016 AMOUNTS Varies depending on income/situation Varies Varies (paid quarterly not with refund) Max $1028 (single) $1868 (family) Manitoba Personal Tax Credit Max $195 + $113 if 65+ Manitoba Education and Property Tax Credit ( rent credit ) Primary Caregiver Tax credit Max $1400 Max $700 (under 65) max $1100 (65+)
21 Refundable Tax Credit - Manitoba Primary Caregiver Tax Credit: Requires confirmation of level of care need by medical practitioner OR assessment at Home Care level 2 or higher Care recipients involved with Children s disability Services (age 3 or older) or Community Living disability Services (Mb Family Services programs) must apply through those programs Documents from medical practitioner must be verified by Regional Health Authority in the area where the Primary Care Recipient resides before the claim can be made on a tax return Primary Care Recipient: Person requiring care/support designates one individual as their care provider Can only designate one care provider at a time 90 day qualifying period at start of claim New application and new qualifying period required if changing care provider Primary Care Provider: Must provide unpaid care & support to care recipient Does not have to live with or be related to the care recipient Cannot claim any periods of time in a year when the care recipient spends more than 14 days in a hospital Can have more than 1 care recipient but maximum claim is $1400 per year (equiv of 1 person all year) Must live in Manitoba
22 2. Accessing other benefit programs linked to tax data: Federal and Provincial benefit programs all use tax data, along with personal/household details to determine eligibility Timely filing of tax matters ensures no delay or interruption in benefits from other programs (limited ability to retroactively access missed benefits in most programs) Both CFCS as part of Counselling Services and SEED as part of their Access to Benefits program provide system navigation regarding other benefit programs, application process and problem solving Access to Benefits intentionally added to Norquay Building CVITP tax clinic in 2017 (tax season 2016) with significant success Nearly tax returns completed Approximately $28,000,000 in refunds, annual GST and CCB benefits PLUS: 1072 benefit applications completed for another $773,000 in other benefits
