  • 1. Exploring the reach of the Canada child benefit: Two coverage rate monitoring strategies
    Articles and reports: 75F0002M2025006
    Description: A prerequisite for the eligibility and receipt of Canada's many social benefit programs is participation in the tax system. Each year, as many as 1 in 10 Canadians do not file their taxes in a timely fashion and as a result miss out - at least temporarily - on benefits to which they could be entitled. The Canada child benefit (CCB), which replaced the Canada child tax benefit (CCTB) in July 2016, is a means-tested tax-free monthly government benefit program available to families with a registered child. This study looks at the CCB coverage using two coverage rate monitoring strategies. It supports ongoing work across several federal agencies to examine the reach of the tax and benefit system.

  • 2. The filing patterns of wage earners and receipt of the Canada workers benefit
    Articles and reports: 75F0002M2025004

It also investigates the potential entitlement of non-filers to the Canada workers benefit and provides an estimate of initially unclaimed benefits.

  • 6. Understanding the tax implications of Registered Retirement Savings Plans
    Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202200200002
    Description:

    A Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) is a tax-deductible savings vehicle designed to encourage people to save for their retirement. Contributions are made with pre-tax income, and taxation is deferred to the time when funds are withdrawn, typically in retirement when marginal tax rates are otherwise low, resulting in tax savings over the life cycle. However, RRSP funds do not lock in and there are no early withdrawal penalties by the tax system, which means pre-retirement withdrawals are frequent. This prevalence of pre-retirement RRSP withdrawals raises the question of what reasons, aside from retirement planning, lead people to use these plans. To explore this issue, new research by Statistics Canada and the Retirement and Savings Institute (RSI) at HEC Montréal considers how a person’s financial literacy affects the timing of contributions to and withdrawals from RRSPs.

  • 10. Self-employed individuals, self-employment income and the post-COVID-19 financial strain Archived
    Stats in brief: 45-28-0001202000100078
    Description:

    Although the number of self-employed individuals has remained largely unchanged since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, many of the self-employed are likely to remain under severe financial strain. This article looks at the unincorporated self-employed more broadly and highlights another important factor that will likely have a large impact on their financial well-being: whether or not the self-employed individuals also have T4 earnings.
