Amendment to the Solidarity Tax Credit for Quebec

Since January 1, 2016, Quebec residents are no longer required to inform Revenu Québec of changes that have occurred in their situation.

From now on, the solidarity credit is calculated based on your situation on December 31, 2021.

Also, starting in July 2016, Revenu Québec will make your payments according to the following criteria:

a) $800 or more, monthly payment.
b) More than $240 but less than $800, quarterly payment.
c) Less than $240, paid in July.

To benefit from the dwelling component, owners of an eligible dwelling must include in their application their serial number or identification number that appears on their municipal tax notice.

In the case of a tenant or a subtenant, the latter is required to enter the dwelling number that appears on the RL-31 slip. This RL-31 slip must be given on or before the last day of February to each person who was a tenant or subtenant of an eligible dwelling on December 31, 2021.

If you have a spouse who ordinarily lives with you, only one of you can claim the solidarity tax credit for your couple.

You must meet the following conditions:

a) You are 18 years old or over;
b) You are a Quebec resident;
c) You have a recognized status (Canadian citizen, permanent resident, refugee, etc.);
d) You are not confined to a prison or a similar institution.

We suggest you read the information pertaining to the "Solidarity Tax Credit" section in Revenu Québec's guide starting on page 16.
