1029.8.116.9.0.1. If, in a taxation year, an individual receives a financial assistance benefit paid under any of Chapters I, II, V and VI of Title II of the Individual and Family Assistance Act (chapter A-13.1.1) or Chapter III of that Title II, as it read before being repealed, if, on or before 15 October of that year, the individual applies to the Minister of Employment and Social Solidarity, in the prescribed form containing prescribed information, and if that Minister notifies the Minister of Revenue, the latter Minister may pay in advance, according to the terms and conditions provided for in the second paragraph, the amount determined in accordance with the third paragraph in respect of a relevant month of the year (in this subdivision referred to as the “increased amount of the advance relating to the work premium”) in respect of the amount the individual considers to be the amount that the individual will be deemed to have paid to the Minister, under the first paragraph of section 1029.8.116.5 or 1029.8.116.5.0.1, on account of the individual’s tax payable for the year, if(a) the individual is resident in Québec at the time of the application;
(b) the individual is not a person in respect of whom another individual is entitled, for the year, to an amount deemed under section 1029.8.61.18 to be an overpayment of the other individual’s tax payable, unless the individual is 18 years of age or over on the first day of the month of the application;
(c) at the time of the application, the individual is described in any of paragraphs a to d of section 1029.8.116.2;
(d) at the time of the application, the individual performs the duties of an office or employment, or carries on a business, alone or as a partner actively engaged in the business; and
(e) the individual has agreed that the advance payments be made by direct deposit in a bank account held at a financial institution listed in Part I of Appendix I to Rule D4 – Institution Numbers and Clearing Agency/ Representative Arrangements of the Automated Clearing Settlement System Rules Manual, as amended from time to time, of the Canadian Payments Association.
The increased amount of the advance relating to the work premium in respect of a relevant month that is the month of the application or one of the months for which new information concerning the work income earned by the individual and, if applicable, by the individual’s spouse is transmitted by the Minister of Employment and Social Solidarity is payable on or before the 15th day of the month of the year that follows the month in which the Minister of Revenue receives the application or the new information.
The increased amount of the advance relating to the work premium in respect of a relevant month of the taxation year is determined by the formula
(90% × A) – B.
In the formula in the third paragraph,(a) A is the amount that the individual would be deemed to have paid to the Minister, under the first paragraph of section 1029.8.116.5 or 1029.8.116.5.0.1, on account of the individual’s tax payable for the year, if the total of the individual’s work income for the year and, where applicable, that of the individual’s spouse at the time of the application or at the beginning of the relevant month, as the case may be, were the aggregate of the work income they earned, for the portion of that year that ends at the end of the month that precedes the relevant month, as those work incomes were determined by the Minister of Employment and Social Solidarity for the purposes of the Individual and Family Assistance Act; and
(b) B is the aggregate of the payments that the individual received in the year, under this section and section 1029.8.116.9, before the month in which the increased amount of the advance relating to the work premium determined in respect of the relevant month is paid.
For the purposes of this section, a relevant month of a taxation year is a month the first day of which is subsequent to the period, beginning at the beginning of that year, at the end of which the aggregate of the work incomes earned by the individual and, where applicable, by the individual’s spouse at that time, as those work incomes were determined by the Minister of Employment and Social Solidarity for the purposes of the Individual and Family Assistance Act, exceeds(a) $2,400, where the individual considers that the individual will be deemed to have paid an amount to the Minister under the first paragraph of section 1029.8.116.5 and the individual does not have a spouse at that time;
(b) $3,600, where the individual considers that the individual will be deemed to have paid an amount to the Minister under the first paragraph of section 1029.8.116.5 and the individual has a spouse at that time; or
(c) $1,200, where the individual considers that the individual will be deemed to have paid an amount to the Minister under the first paragraph of section 1029.8.116.5.0.1.
