Notes

(1) Québec’s credit rate is applied to the dollar amounts shown in the table to determine the 

credit value. For example, the basic personal credit amount of $11,195 is multiplied by 

20% to determine the credit value of $2,239.

The unused portion of all non-refundable credits may be transferred from one spouse/

partner to another, but only after all credits have been taken into account in the calculation 

of the individual’s income tax otherwise payable.

(2) Québec indexes its tax credits each year by using an inflation factor that is calculated 

based on the provincial rate of inflation, excluding changes in liquor and tobacco taxes. The 

Québec inflation factor is 2.48% for 2013.

(3) This credit is available for a dependent child who is under the age of 18 and is engaged 

in full-time professional training or post-secondary studies for each completed term, 

to a maximum of two semesters per year per dependant. It is also available for infirm 

dependants who are engaged in such activities part-time. The amount claimed is 

reduced by 80% of the dependant’s income for the year, calculated without including any 

scholarships, fellowships or awards received during the year.
