Ontario'a Tax:Credit System is
administered as, ;part of the

method of Obtaining •the various
credits is to complete the special,
pale purple coloured credit form
(TIC(Ont.)) which is included with
the income tax schedules: Even if
there is, .in fact, no taxable
income, this form must be filed
with the Federal Government. In
the event that a taxpayer has an

be applied to reduce this liability.
_Otherwise,. the...FesteraLDepart-

will include the Tax Credits paid
by the Province as well as any
Federal Refund 'which may be
payable.
To be' eligible for the ,Tax
Credits, you must be over 16
years df. age and, a resident of
Ontario. on the last day of the
taxation year. If someone is
temporarily out of the Province on
December 31, he or she may still
be considered a resident,
providing a tax return is not filed
as a resident of another Province.
Individuals who 'left Ontario and-
Canada during the taxation year
must consider the last day of their
taxation year as the day on which
they ceased to live in Ontario, and

purposes is determined as of that
date.

Ontario Political Contribution Tax
• Credit
• To obtain this Tax Credit, you
list your Total Ontario Political
Contributions for the' taxation
year of 1977 and' official receipts
must be attached. Remember that
the total allowable credit
maximum is $500. and this is
reached when vital allowable
contributions in the year 'amount
to $1.150.
You may claim 75% of the first
$100 or total Contributions, 50%
of the next $450 of total
contributions, and 33 '1/3% of
total contributions in excess of
$550.-
For the 1977 taxation year, the
Political Contribution Tax Credit
may be claimed by either the
contributor or the contributor's
spouse. In other words; official
receipts for political contributions •
are •noW transferable between
spouses. HOwever, a single
contribution for which one official
receipt is issued cannot be
divided between the. spouses. It
must• be claimed entirely by one
spouse or the' other..
in the greatest need of assistance,
the total Tax Credit entitlement is
reduced by 2% .of 'the taxable
income, 'which means that the
amount of credit available to any
taxpayer depends upon family
circumstances, age, income and
the property tax or rent which is
paid, subject to, an overall
maximum of $500, and the
Political 'Contribution Tax Credit,
subject to a maximum o $50 .
For the• 1977 taxation r,
Ontario residents with a taxable
income: of 31„6.W ,,or leas are
considered to have a '!nil"
taxable income for purposes of
calculating their tax credits. In
such cases, the two per cent ,of
taxable income offset ' against
Property, Saies and Pensioner tax
credits, does not apply.

income, is in respect of the
