Saskatchewan Low-Income Tax Credit

The SLITC (which replaces and enhances the Saskatchewan Sales Tax Credit (SSTC)) is a program designed to help lower-income Saskatchewan residents.

For the purposes of this credit, the amount allocated will be:

  • $346 for the individual;
  • $346 for the spouse or common-law partner (or for an eligible dependant);
  • $136 per child (up to $272 per family).

The maximum annual credit is $964 per family. If the adjusted family net income exceeds $32,643, the credit will be reduced. Families with an adjusted family net income between $32,643 and $67,697 will receive part of the credit.

The SLITC is combined with the quarterly federal goods and services tax (GST) credit into a single payment.
