Chapter 2 - Personal tax credits returns (Form TD1) To determine federal total claim (TC), use the total claim amount on Form TDI.

Employers are to upslate TCP at the beginning of each year using either indexing or claim codes.

For example, ifthe Federal BPAF is $12,719 for putcular employee, then claim code 2 range would be $12,719 — $15,149 and so forth up to claim code 10. Based on above example, to calculate the non reftudable tax credits for the BPAF of $12,719, find the mid-point between $12,719 and $15,149, this amount willbe the total claim (Factor TC) for your calculation, amultiply this TC by lowest federal tax rate. ‘The Nova Scotia Claim Code chart income range is $1,600 between all claim codes, once the BPANS has been calculated. For example, if BPANS is $11,481 for a particular employee, then the claim code 2 range would be $11,481 ~$13,081 and so forth upto claim code 10, Based on above exemple, to calculate the non refundable tex cedits for the BPANS of $11,481, find the ‘mid-point between $11,481 and $13,0SI, this amount willbe the total claim (Factor TCP) for your calculation, multiply this TCP bylowest provincial tax rate Effective January 1, 2022, PDOC will accept direct entry of TC and TCP. To verify your calctlations using PDOC simply input the amount for TC and TGP obtained fiom the appropriate claim code table If federal Form TDI is not submitted by the employer or pensioner, TC is calculated using the BPAF formula. Federal Basic Personal Amount (BPAF) Formula Where NI* < $155,625, BPAF = $14,398 Where $155,625 < NI* < $221,708, BPAF **= $14,398 - (NI* - $155,625) » ($1,679 / $66,083)"** Where NI* > $221,708, BPAF = $12,719 ** Variable NI represents Net income for the year from the employer= A+HD canada.caftaxes 7 ‘** Ifthe BPAF has three or more digits after the decimal point, increase the second digit afte the decimal point by one if the third digits five or more, andl drop the third digit.
