Measures concerning individuals

How the QST credit works
(2001 taxation year)

	Back to Measures concerning individuals

The maximum allowable amount of the QST credit is $154 per adult, plus an additional $103 for an adult who lives alone. The total amount is reduced by 3% of the portion of family income that exceeds $26 000.

The QST credit is thus accessible up to a family income of:

• $36 266 for a couple;
• $34 566 for an adult living alone;
• $31 133 for an adult sharing a dwelling.

The QST credit is generally paid in two equal instalments, one in August and one in December. Where the amount of the credit does not exceed $50 for a given taxation year, the payment is made in full in August.
