Notes
If you had an OAS repayment for 2015, tax may have been withheld from your OAS pension for 2016. The amount deducted is shown in box 22 of your T4A(OAS) slip for 2016. Claim it on line 437. Similarly, if you have an OAS repayment for 2016, tax may be withheld starting with your July 2017 OAS payment.If your net income exceeded the threshold for 2016 and your net income for 2017 is expected to be substantially lower, you can request a waiver from the CRA to have Service Canada reduce your income tax withheld at source beginning July 2017. The request must be made in writing. Send us a completed Form T1213 (OAS), Request to Reduce Old Age Security Recovery Tax at Source.
