Inter-Provincial Calculation for CPP and QPP Contributions and Overpayments |
||||||||||||||||||||
The Canada Pension Plan (CPP) was amended to provide for the enhancement of pensions. The government of Quebec also adopted legislative amendments to enhance the Quebec Pension Plan (QPP) in a similar way to the federal plan. The enhancements are funded by additional enhanced contributions that began in January 2019. |
||||||||||||||||||||
The contributions consist of a base and an enhanced amount. As an employee, your employer will have already deducted the contributions from your salary and wages. As a self-employed individual, you will calculate your required contributions (if any) on this schedule including the base and the enhanced amounts. |
||||||||||||||||||||
The CPP and the QPP have different base contribution rates. The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) must be able to calculate your CPP and QPP contributions separately using the applicable rate(s). |
||||||||||||||||||||
The CRA will use the information from this form to determine the portion of the yearly basic exemption and the maximum contributory earnings to be applied to the CPP and QPP. |
||||||||||||||||||||
For more information, see lines 22200, 22215, 30800, and 31000 of the Federal Income Tax and Benefit Guide. | ||||||||||||||||||||
