2017 Québec Budget and the Health Contribution - Assessment systems adjusted

The Revenu Québec assessment systems have now been adjusted. Consequently, the corrections will be made directly by Revenu Québec for the 2016 tax returns that have already been filed.

For more details, please consult the tax article Elimination as of 2016 of the health contribution for low- and middle-income individuals available on the Revenu Québec Web site.


Message from March 29, 2017:

As announced in the Québec Budget tabled yesterday, March 28, 2017, the health contribution for low-income and middle-income taxpayers has been abolished.

We are presently in communication with Revenu Québec in order to apply this measure as quickly as possible in Personal Taxprep. In the meantime, here are our recommendations:

  • to wait before applying the adjustments arising from this new measure for now, since Revenu Québec still has to adjust its assessment system to take this change into account;
  • to wait for version 2016 4.0 of Personal Taxprep, which will be available at the beginning of next week, before processing the affected returns, as this version will include this new measure.

A troubleshooting memo will be sent tomorrow to provide you with further details on this matter.
