1. Employment Income (EI) premiums are going up to $1.69 per $100 of insurable earnings from the current $1.63 per $100 of insurable earnings.
2. The tax credit for Public Transit Tax Credit on Passes will be eliminated effective July 1st.
3. Tighter rules on investment products you can and can’t hold in your Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) and Registered Disability Savings Plans (RDSP). Strict investment rules had already been outlined for RRSPs and TFSAs. Make sure you’re holding allowable investment products, otherwise the penalties are onerous.
