Store Description: TAX CHANGES YOU SHOULD KNOW:

Child Tax Credit allows families to benefit from a $2,038 Child Tax Credit for each child
under the age of 18 at the end of 2008.

Children’s Fitness Amount is a non-refundable credit worth up to $500 for children
under the age of 16 enrolled in an eligible program of physical activity.

Pension Income Splitting allows pensioners to split up to half of their eligible pension
income with a spouse or common-law partner. Income splitting will allow some

Transit Pass Credit rules were expanded to include new electronic fare products and
weekly passes purchased covering at least 20 days in a 4-week period.

tax savings.
