Section 1
Tax Basics
In Canada, many people file an income tax return each year. A tax return tells the government about your income and helps decide if you can get benefits or credits.
Keep your Social Insurance Number private. Save documents like pay stubs, T4 slips, rent receipts, childcare receipts, and other important papers.
If you are unsure what to do, ask a trusted tax clinic, settlement agency, or qualified professional.
Section 2
Benefits and Credits
Some newcomers may qualify for benefit and credit payments based on income and family situation. These can include payments for families with children or people with lower income.
Rules can change, so always check the Canada Revenue Agency website or ask a trusted tax clinic. Do not share your CRA password or personal information with strangers.
Be careful of messages saying you owe tax money right away. Scammers may pretend to be the CRA.
