a Not available for 2010 and 2011.
b Not available for gender breakdowns.
c Starting in 1999, only RRSP income of persons aged 65 years or older is included.
d There are a number of provincial tax credits for Ontario that were only included for 2010 and 2011, which explains a drop in the numbers for 2012. They include the Ontario Energy and Property Tax Credit; Ontario Sales Tax Credit; Northern Ontario Energy Credit; and Ontario Sales Tax Transition Credit.
e Other government transfers was introduced in 2010 and only included the Working Income Tax Benefit (WITB) at that time. Although the WITB program was introduced a few years back by the government (reference year 2007), it had not been included on its own or in any total income or government transfer income variables. In 2015 the Children’s Fitness Tax Credit was also included under other government transfers because it became a refundable credit. In previous years, this credit was a non-refundable tax credit and therefore only had an impact on net federal tax.
