DT Max T1

   Calculation of the Working Income Tax Benefit (WITB) for a disabled person registered in full-time studies

2. Version highlights

   1. Quebec Tax Data Download

      Version 19.16 of DT Max offers Revenu Québec's Tax Data Download service. New added features should be noted for this year: new Box C8 from the RL-2 slip, Boxes G1, G2, H1, H2, J1, J2 from the RL-10 slip and Box G from the RL-19 slip.

      For more information on this feature, please consult the Quebec Tax Data Download and the Procedure to download tax data from Revenu Québec documents, available in our knowledge base.

   2. Enhanced estimated calculation for the Quebec Solidarity Tax Credit

      Following changes announced by the government of Quebec as part of its 2015 budget, respecting the terms of use and allocation of the Quebec solidarity tax credit starting after June 2016, please note that DT Max's in-house form for the estimated calculation of the aforementioned tax credit has been adjusted accordingly.

      From now on, the calculation estimate will be displayed on one single page in order to enhance the presentation and the understanding of the various components involved in this calculation. Please note that the payment period remains unchanged, that is to say from July 1, 2016, to June 30, 2017.

      You can now refer to this worksheet to view an estimate of the calculation for the amount of solidarity tax credit receivable.

      In response to an increasing demand by our clients on how they could display the solidarity tax credit amounts on the client letter, we have integrated three new variables in the client letter to account for the frequency of the payments (monthly, quarterly or annual). Please refer to the "New variables for the client letter" section for more details.
