Form NT479, Northwest Territories Credit

Provincial Form NT479, Northwest Territories Credit

Cost of living tax credit

If you were a resident of the Northwest Territories at the end of the year, you can claim the cost of living tax credit which may include a supplement for you and your spouse or common-law partner. If this credit is more than the taxes you have to pay, you may get a refund for the difference.

To claim this credit, complete Form NT479, Northwest Territories Credit, and attach it to your return.

If you had a spouse or common-law partner on December 31, 2024, and you and your spouse or common-law partner are eligible for the cost of living tax credit supplement, only one of you can claim it for your family. You and your spouse or common-law partner need to decide who will claim this supplement.

If you were a resident of the Northwest Territories and you (or your spouse or common-law partner) had income from a business with a permanent establishment outside the Northwest Territories, enter on line 1 of your Form NT479 the net income allocated to the Northwest Territories from column 4 of your Form T2203, Provincial and Territorial Taxes for Multiple Jurisdictions.
