Tips for Saskatchewan residents
- The low-income tax credit is paid quarterly with the GST/HST credit — file a return even with little income.
- Graduate retention program: recent post-secondary graduates who live in Saskatchewan can claim a non-refundable credit for tuition, up to a lifetime maximum.
- Other provincial credits on form SK428 — for dependants, caregivers or volunteer firefighters, for example — reduce tax further; they are not included in this estimate.
