综合报道

踏入4月,不少民众都赶在月底限期前报税,有专家提醒原来不少开支,例如员工支付的医疗护理保险险费(health plan premiums)和搬屋开支(moving expenses)等是可以扣税,随时能为报税人节省数百、甚至数千元税款。

多伦多入息税专家Jason Heath表示,在所有可以扣税的医疗费用中,纳税人最常忽视由每月自动从雇员薪酬中扣除的保健或牙齿保险费,原来亦可视作医疗开支。

在2016年凡总医疗开支超过2,237元,或报税人或其配偶的薪金3%(以较低者为准)即可扣税。Heath指出光是一年的保险费很容易就超过2,000元。

对于要为工作而搬屋的人,搬迁和出门费用可以十分可观。若报税人能证明新居与新工作场所的距离,较旧居缩短至少40公里,有关费用可以扣税,而家长若有子女因成为全日制学生而搬近新入读学校,家长亦可申请扣税优惠。

在再次置业前四年内没有自置物业的人士、以及首次置业人士,均可为年内购买的合资格住所,包括独立屋、condo或流动屋(mobile home)申请5,000元退税。若业主的住房是2009年1月27日后购买,又未有在置业当年申请退税,亦可提出调整之前的报税单。

此外,残疾税款抵免的范围亦较一般想像中广,如糖尿病,癫痫或学习障碍亦属可免税范畴,合资格人士每年可获约2,000元退税。资料来源:加通社
