For all DT Max programs

  1. Implementation of announced tax changes

    Since our last release, the following budgets were announced:

    Federal - To be determined
    Alberta - February 27, 2025
    British Columbia - March 4, 2025
    Manitoba - March 20, 2025
    New Brunswick - March 18, 2025
    Newfoundland & Labrador - April 9, 2025
    Northwest Territories - February 6, 2025
    Nova Scotia - February 18, 2025
    Nunavut - February 24, 2025
    Ontario - May 15, 2025
    Prince Edward Island - April 10, 2025
    Quebec - March 25, 2025
    Saskatchewan - March 19, 2025
    Yukon - March 6, 2025

    At the time of writing, the majority of the above-mentioned budget speeches were tabled in their respective legislatures.

    The 2025 DT Max tax planner takes into consideration the basic tax changes announced in each budget, allowing you for more effective planning opportunities, as well as the ability to perform cost projection calculations.

    Please refer to these topics from our knowledge base for a detailed review of the tax changes implemented:

  2. 2025 Planner Standard Caveat

    We would like to remind our users that the planner is equipped with the most recent information available at the time of our production process.

    This information includes the 2025 tax rates and the 2024 non-refundable tax credits and tax brackets indexed to reflect the 2025 amounts.

    In some cases, instead of an indexation factor, we have implemented the amounts prescribed by the taxing jurisdiction depending on the availability of the information.

    However, please note that due to various factors beyond our control, certain new tax measures are not included in our planner version. Should you require a precise projection (rather than an estimate) of your client's 2025 tax liability, we strongly suggest that you review our planner's results with care.

DT Max T1

  1. Version highlights

    1. Important CRA Message on the Authorize-A-Representative Web Service

      As part of the Canada Revenue Agency's (CRA) ongoing commitment to improve service delivery by making it faster, easier, and more secure, we would like to notify you of changes planned for July 2025 that impact the Authorization service in the EFILE software for Individuals (T1).

      Starting July 15, 2025, all EFILE authorization requests for Individuals will be rejected by the CRA. An error message, T864, will be returned to the user, advising them to use the authorization service in Represent a Client instead.

      EFILERs will still be able to use Auto-fill My Return, however, the access step in Represent a Client must be completed first.

    2. Federal EFILE Setup

      Password entry errors have been one of the main sources of calls to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) EFILE support services. The CRA has explored options to reduce the number of these calls. As a result, the CRA has made it mandatory to add an additional password field to confirm that the password has been entered correctly by entering it a second time. This change is now integrated into the EFILE setup for DT Max for federal T1 and Quebec TP1 returns.

    3. Federal

      1. News release of May 14, 2025

        Income is reported and tax is calculated on an annual basis. To reflect a one-percentage-point cut in the lowest tax rate coming into effect halfway through the year, the full-year tax rate for 2025 will be 14.5 per cent and the full-year rate for 2026 and future tax years will be 14 per cent. The Canada Revenue Agency will update its source deduction tables for the July to December 2025 period so that pay administrators are able to reduce tax withholdings as of July 1. This means that, effective July 1, individuals with employment income and other income subject to source deductions could have tax withheld at 14 per cent. Otherwise, individuals will realize this tax relief when they file their 2025 tax returns in spring 2026.

        • The bulk of tax relief will go to those with incomes in the two lowest tax brackets (i.e., those with taxable income under $114,750 in 2025), including nearly half to those in the first bracket ($57,375 and below in 2025).

        • The rate applying to most non-refundable tax credits will continue to be the same as the lowest personal income tax rate.

    4. Quebec

      1. Enhancing the Family Allowance for bereaved parents

        The tax legislation will be amended to provide that Family Allowance payments, as well as SHC or SHCREC payments, where applicable, will be extended for 12 months from the month following the month that includes the day of an eligible dependent child's death. This new measure will apply to deaths occurring after June 30, 2025.

      2. Abolished tax measures

        The following tax measures are abolished:

        – Foreign researcher tax holiday

        – Foreign expert tax holiday

        – Tax holiday for foreign specialists assigned to operations of an international financial centre

        – Tax holiday for foreign specialists working in the financial services sector

        – Tax holiday for seamen engaged in international transportation of freight

        – Tax credit for patronage gift

      3. Introduction of the Canadian Entrepreneurs' Incentive

        To encourage entrepreneurship, the Canadian Entrepreneurs' Incentive took effect on January 1, 2025. It reduces the inclusion rate to 33.33% on a lifetime maximum of $2 million in eligible capital gains. The maximum incentive for 2025 is $400,000, and it will increase by $400,000 each year, reaching $2 million in 2029.

    5. Ontario

      1. Fertility treatment tax credit

        New Refundable Fertility Treatment Tax Credit proposed, which would provide a tax credit of 25% of eligible expenses up to $20,000, for a maximum tax credit of $5,000 per year. The fertility treatment expenses could be claimed as the refundable tax credit as well as part of the non-refundable medical expense tax credit.

    6. Prince Edward Island

      1. PEI Child Benefit

        The Prince Edward Island Child Benefit (PEICB) is a tax-free amount paid to help low to medium-income families with the cost of raising children. The first PEICB payments will be issued on January 20, 2025, with the Canada child benefit (CCB).

        For January to June 2025, you may be eligible to receive:

        • $30 per month for each child under 18 years of age if your adjusted family net income is less than $45,000;

        • $20 per month for each child under 18 years of age if your adjusted family net income is between $45,000 and $80,000.

        If your adjusted family net income is greater than $80,000, the amount is reduced to zero.

        The PEICB is combined with the CCB into a single monthly payment.

    7. Nova Scotia

      1. Changes to basic personal, spousal, eligible dependant and age amounts

        Effective for the 2025 tax year, the maximum basic personal, age, spousal, and eligible dependant amounts will be provided to all eligible tax filers, by removing the reduction provision for those with taxable income above $25,000. The BPA will be $11,744 for all tax filers. The spousal amount will be $11,744, the eligible dependant amount will be $11,744, and the age amount will increase to $5,734.

    8. Manitoba

      1. Doubling the Volunteer Firefighter and Search and Rescue Amount

        The budget proposes a new, non-refundable personal income tax credit of $5,000 for eligible volunteer firefighters and search and rescue volunteers, effective for the 2025 taxation year.

      2. New $1,500 Homeowners Affordability Tax Credit

        The Government of Manitoba introduced the new Homeowners Affordability Tax Credit of up to $1,500 on the education portion of property taxes in Budget 2024/25. This credit replaces the School Tax Rebate and Education Property Tax Credit for residential properties for the 2025 tax year.

    9. Yukon

      1. New tax credit for fertility treatments and surrogacy services

        The new fertility and surrogacy tax credit will be available to Yukoners seeking fertility treatment or surrogacy services. It will cover 40 per cent of costs incurred for fertility treatments including surrogacy expenses to a maximum of $10,000 per year, with unlimited lifetime availability. Yukoners will be able to claim this credit when they complete their 2025 tax return.

  2. Notes

    1. Deceased or bankrupt taxpayers

      Although the tax planner might not be appropriate to prepare 2025 income tax returns for living taxpayers, it may be used legally to prepare returns on behalf of deceased or bankrupt taxpayers. Pursuant to DT Max's calculations, tax plans will appear as preliminary updates of tax forms for the new tax year. However, the returns of deceased or bankrupt taxpayers will be displayed on approved forms from the prior tax year, in conformity with the government's instructions.

      For more details, please consult the following "in-house" documents from the knowledge base: Preparing the return of a deceased taxpayer and Preparing a bankruptcy return.

    2. Printing prescribed forms for 2025 returns

      Year after year, there is a certain level of confusion among tax preparers in regard to the forms' versions. Administrative policies differ from one level of government to the other as for the validity of the prescribed forms. DT Max was programmed in accordance with these administrative policies.

      1. Quebec

        When a 2025 tax return is produced before the official annual forms are made available, depending on whether the Quebec form is prescribed or not, the year that is printed may be 2024 or 2025. Even though the system's calculation engine is calibrated for tax year 2025, only a complete paper certification process (performed in the fall) allows the preparers to use the 2025 prescribed forms.

      2. Federal

        On all federal forms, the year is changed to 2025.

    Alberta

    2. Digital by default

      Effective May 12, 2025, the Canada Revenue Agency will transition to online mail as the default method of delivering most business correspondence.

      For more information, click on this link.

    3. CRA confirms interest relief for corporate income tax payments and GST/HST remittances

      On March 28, 2025, the CRA confirmed on its website that it will allow for the deferral of corporate income tax payments and GST/HST remittances from April 2 to June 30, 2025. This announcement follows the earlier announcement by Prime Minister Mark Carney on March 21, 2025, that such relief would be provided.

      As a result, the CRA has stated that it will waive interest during the period of April 2 to June 30, 2025, inclusive, on the following:

      • Corporate income tax instalments and arrears payments, as well as GST/HST remittances (including instalments) and arrears payments, that are required to be paid between April 2 and June 30, 2025; and

      • Existing corporate income tax balances and GST/HST balances outstanding between April 2 and June 30, 2025.

      Interest will resume on any outstanding payments, remittances, instalments, and balances as of July 1, 2025.

      The CRA also emphasized that all T2 corporate income tax returns and GST/HST returns must still be filed by their required filing due dates. Tax filing deadlines have not been extended.

      It has been confirmed with the CRA Business Returns Directorate that the available relief also extends to instalment penalties.

      Penalties for late or deficient instalments are imposed under section 163.1 of the Income Tax Act and are computed based on the amount of interest that is owing on the late or deficient instalments. As a result, it is reasonable to conclude, as confirmed by the CRA, that if the interest is waived under the CRA's stated relief, any related penalty would also be nil.

      Quebec harmonization

      On March 28, 2025, Quebec announced that it will harmonize with the federal government announcement mentioned above and will thus allow for the deferral of corporate income tax payments and QST remittances from April 2 to June 30, 2025. Interest will also resume as of July 1, 2025 and no extension is provided for tax filing deadlines.

    4. New warning message for work in progress

      As requested by Revenu Quebec, a new warning message has been added in the data entry when a corporation had entered an amount on line 117 of Form CO-17.A.1 in a previous year and there is no entry on line 42 of Form CO-17.A.1 in the current year.

      DT Max will automatically carry forward to next year the amount entered in the Net-Inc-Ded keyword, option "Work in progress at end of current yr - QC" into new keyword QC-WIP-PrevYr within CorpHistory group. If the keyword QC-WIP-PrevYr exists within CorpHistory group and there is no entry for Net-Inc-Add option "Work in progress at end of previous yr - QC", DT Max will prompt you to enter this option.

    5. New diagnostic for SR&ED expenses addition to net income (reconciliation)

      A new diagnostic has been added to the Notes and diagnostics form when there is an entry on Schedule 1, line 411 (SR&ED expenditures claimed in the year on line 460 from Form T661), but there is no entry on Schedule 1, line 118 (Scientific research expenditures deducted per financial statements).

      As requested by Revenu Quebec, a new diagnostic has been added to the Notes and diagnostics form when there is an entry on CO-17.A.1, line 113 (R&D expenditures (form RD-222)), but there is no entry on CO-17.A.1, line 18 (R&D expenditures deducted according to the financial statements).

    6. New diagnostic for Quebec R&D tax credit (RD-222)

      As requested by Revenu Quebec, a new diagnostic has been added to the Notes and diagnostics form when one of the Quebec R&D tax credit forms have been generated, and there is no entry on Quebec form RD-222 line 71 (Tax credits for R&D granted by Revenu Quebec for the year).

    7. New diagnostic for predecessor corporations who haven't filed a final tax return

      As requested by Revenu Quebec, a new diagnostic has been added to the Notes and diagnostics form when the CO-17 line 34 is ticked, because it is the result of an amalgamation to verify whether predecessor corporations are required to file a final QC tax return.

    8. New warning message affecting CCPCs and shareholder information

      As requested by Revenu Quebec, a new warning message has been added in the data entry when a corporation is a CCPC and no shareholder has been within the CorpOfficers group.
