Here is a summary of the changes included in Cantax T2 24.2.3xx.126.

  • Capital gains inclusion rate modifications
    The modifications to the capital gains inclusion rate have not been implemented in this version of Cantax T2. When the CRA made us aware that none of its schedules would be updated at this time to take these modifications into account, we were not in a position to make adjustments to this version before its release. We are planning to release a version at the beginning of 2025 that will implement the modifications even if no updated official CRA schedule is available.

  • Schedule 75, Clean Technology Investment Tax Credit (S75)
    Schedule 75, used to calculate the clean technology investment tax credit for corporations that have acquired clean technology property after March 27, 2023, has been added to the program.

  • AT1 Schedule 29, Alberta Innovation Employment Grant (AT1-S29)
    AT1 Schedule 29 has been updated to implement changes on how the 12% portion of the tax credit is calculated when the corporation is associated with one or more corporations for Innovation Employment Grant purposes.

For the latest information about this release, please refer to the Release Notes available from the Welcome box in the Cantax T2 program. This document is also on our Web site.
