Taxfilers and Dependents
This represents an estimate of the total population as derived from the taxfile. Included here are taxfilers, their non-filing spouses and their children; the latter can be filing or non-filing children. Spouses and children can be identified by the information on a taxfiler's return or from the child tax benefits file.
Taxfilers
Most taxfilers are people who filed a tax return for the reference year and were alive at the end of the year. Starting with the 1993 tax year, those taxfilers who died within the tax year and who indicated a non-filing spouse had their income and their filing status attributed to the spouse.
Employment Income
Refers to the total reported employment income. Employment income includes wages and salaries, commissions from employment, training allowances, tips and gratuities, and self-employment income (net income from business, profession, farming, fishing and commissions).
Wages, Salaries, and Commissions
These include employment pay and commissions as stated on T4 information slips, training allowances, tips and gratuities.
Self-Employment Income
This is net income from business, profession, commission, farming and fishing.
Fishing and Farming Self-Employment Income
Refers to the net income from fishing and farming.
Other Self-Employment Income
This is net income from business, profession and commission (i.e. other than fishing and farming).
Investment Income
This includes both interest income and dividend income.
RRSP Income
This is withdrawals from an RRSP investment.
Private Pensions
These include pension benefits (superannuation and private pensions) other than Old Age Security and Canada/Quebec Pension Plan benefits.
Other Income
This includes net rental income, alimony, income from a limited partnership, retiring allowances, scholarships, amounts received through a supplementary unemployment benefit plan (guaranteed annual income plan), payments from income-averaging annuity contracts, as well as all other taxable income not included elsewhere. Beginning with the 1992 data, this variable also includes the imputed income of imputed spouses, as derived from the tax return of the filing spouse. See also "Total Income".
Total Market Incomes
This is income from: employment income, investment income, dividend income, interest income, RRSP income, private pensions and other income (net rental income, alimony, income from a limited partnership, retiring allowances, scholarships, amounts received through a supplementary unemployment benefit plan (guaranteed annual income plan), payments from income-averaging annuity contracts, as well as all other taxable income not included elsewhere. Beginning with the 1992 data, this variable also includes the imputed income of imputed spouses, as derived from the tax return of the filing spouse.
Old Age Security
This is part of the Old Age Security program, a federal government program that guarantees a degree of financial security to Canadian seniors. All persons in Canada aged 65 or older, who are Canadian citizens or legal residents, may qualify for a full OAS pension, depending on their years of residence in Canada after reaching age 18. Old Age Security benefits include all benefits reported for the reference year (excluding Guaranteed Income Supplements and Spousal Allowance benefits; see also "Net Federal Supplements" and "Non-taxable Income").
Canada Pension Plan
Refers to the compulsory contributory social insurance plans that protect workers and their families against loss of income due to retirement, disability or death. Canada Pension Plan and Quebec Pension Plan benefits include all benefits reported for the reference year.
Child Tax Benefit
This is a system that replaces (beginning with the 1993 data year) the previous Family Allowance program, the non-refundable child deduction and the refundable Child Tax Credit. It is an income supplement for individuals who have at least one qualified dependent child. The Child Tax Benefit is also based on the individual's family income and the number of dependent children.
GST credit
This includes all amounts received through this program. In 1990, the Goods and Services Tax Credit began replacing the Federal Sales Tax (FST) Credit. By 1991, the FST Credit no longer existed.

In Newfoundland, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, provincial sales tax have been harmonized with the Goods and Services Tax (GST) since 1997. For this reason, the federal GST credit is now known as the GST/HST credit.
Employment Insurance (Income Transfer Source, previously Unemployment Insurance)
This comprises all types of benefits paid to individuals under this program, regardless of reason, including regular benefits for unemployment, fishing, job creation, maternity, parental/adoption, retirement, self-employment, sickness, training and work sharing.
Workers' Compensation
This includes any compensation received under Workers' Compensation in respect of an injury, disability or death. This value is reported on line 144 of the personal income tax return. Information on Workers' Compensation is available as a distinct income source starting with the 1994 data; previously included in "Non-taxable Income".
Income Support Assistance (Income Transfer Source)
This includes payments made in the year on the basis of a means, needs or income test (whether made by an organized charity or under a government program). The value is reported on line 145 of the personal income tax return. Available only since 1994 (previously included in "Non-taxable Income").
Provincial Refundable Tax Credits
Non-taxable income refers to the amounts included in a taxfiler's income when applying for refundable tax credits, but not included in the calculation of taxable income; these amounts include Workers' Compensation payments, Net Federal Supplements received (Guaranteed Income Supplements and/or Spouse's Allowance), and social assistance payments. Beginning with the 1994 data, information is available separately for Net Federal Supplements, Workers' Compensation and social assistance. Provincial tax credits are a refundable credit paid to individuals by the province in which he/she resided as of December 31 of the taxation year. See also "Provincial refundable tax credits".
Non-Taxable Income/Provincial (Refundable) Tax Credits
Serve to reduce the tax burden; unlike non-refundable tax credits, all amounts are paid to the taxfiler. Among these refundable tax credits are the Federal Sales Tax (FST) credit (for 1989 and 1990), the Goods and Services Tax (GST) credit (beginning in 1990), the Harmonized Sates Tax (HST) credit (beginning in 1997) and provincial refundable tax credits (beginning in 1990). Included are the refundable provincial tax credits received by taxfilers in Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec (since 1990), British Columbia and the Northwest Territories (since 1993), Quebec family allowances (beginning with 1994), British Columbia family bonus (beginning with 1996) and New Brunswick and Alberta family allowances (beginning in 1997).
Working Income Tax Benefit (WITB)
The working income tax benefit (WITB) is a refundable tax credit intended to provide tax relief for eligible working low-income individuals and families who are already in the workforce and to encourage other Canadians to enter the workforce.
