1029.8.61.5. An eligible individual who, in a taxation year, makes an eligible expense and files, for the year, a fiscal return under section 1000 is deemed to have paid to the Minister, on the eligible individual’s balance-due day for that taxation year, on account of the eligible individual’s tax payable for the year under this Part, an amount equal to 25 % of the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an eligible expense.
However, for the purposes of the first paragraph, the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an eligible expense made by an eligible individual in a taxation year shall not exceed $15,000.
An eligible individual may be deemed to have paid an amount to the Minister under the first paragraph for a taxation year in respect of an eligible expense only if the eligible individual files with the Minister any of the following documents with the fiscal return the eligible individual is required to file for the year under section 1000:(a) if the eligible individual lives in a housing unit that is a self-contained domestic establishment or a room described in section 1029.8.61.1.1 and the eligible expense includes a portion of the rent amount, a copy of the information return, in prescribed form, sent by the lessor; and
(b) if the eligible individual lives in an immovable under divided co-ownership and the eligible expense includes an amount in respect of the expenses arising from the co-ownership, a copy of the information return, in prescribed form, sent by the syndicate of co-owners.
For the purpose of computing the payments that an eligible individual for a taxation year is required to make under section 1025 or 1026, the individual is deemed to have paid to the Minister, on account of the individual’s tax payable for the year under this Part, on the date on or before which each payment is required to be made, an amount equal to the lesser of(a) the amount by which the amount determined under the first paragraph for the year exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is the portion of that amount that may reasonably be considered to be deemed to have been paid to the Minister under this paragraph in the year but before that date; and
(b) the amount by which the amount of that payment, determined without reference to this chapter, exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount that is deemed, under this chapter but otherwise than under the first paragraph, to have been paid to the Minister on that date, for the purpose of computing that payment.
An eligible individual referred to in the first paragraph shall keep the invoices and other vouchers relating to the eligible services during six years after the last year to which they relate.
