Unused direct equity tax credit
You can carry forward your unused Newfoundland and Labrador direct equity tax credits for seven years or carry them back three years.
Any unused direct equity tax credit is shown on your most recent notice of assessment or reassessment.
You may not need all of your credit to reduce your 2018 provincial income tax to zero. Use Form T1272 to calculate any unused credit available to carry back to previous years or carry forward to a future year.
