Quebec Tax Credits and Deductions Subject to Automatic Indexation

The Quebec tax credits in this table are indexed each year using the increase in CPI inflation.  The index used is CPI excluding alcohol, tobacco products and recreational cannabis.  The average of this index from October 2023 to September 2024 is compared to the average of the index from October 2022 to September 2023.  The increase was 2.85%, which is used for the indexation factor for 2025 amounts.  Some amounts are rounded to the nearest $1, and some are rounded to the nearest $5.

The Quebec 2023 Budget reduced the 2023 tax rate for the lowest 2 tax brackets, which reduced the rate for personal tax credits to 14%, but 4 credit amounts were increased so that the tax effect for these would be zero.  The basic personal amount rate is 14% for 2023 and later years.  The amounts that were increased in 2023 are in bold print.

The 2026 indexed amounts have been confirmed to the Quebec Finance Ministry Amounts.

Not all of these amounts are included in the Quebec Tax and RRSP Savings Calculator.

Solidarity Tax Credit

The 2015 Budget announced that the solidarity tax credit would be revised, with the amount to be determined annually rather than monthly, based on information in the tax return. The amount determined would continue to be paid as of July in the following year, but depending on the value determined, the tax credit would be paid on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis. Payments beginning in July 2016 were determined based on the 2015 tax return.  More detailed information on the changes can be found at page A.17 in the 2015-2016 Budget Plan - Additional Information on Fiscal Measures (pdf).
