Frequently asked questions

I am a Registered Native. My income isn't taxable, but my T4 slip shows CPP contributions. Do I have to report them? Where do they go?

Income from employment or self-employment (a business) that is exempt from tax under section 87 of the Indian Act is also exempt from CPP contributions. However, an employer can elect to participate in the CPP. See Form CPT124, Application for Coverage of Employment of an Indian in Canada under the Canada Pension Plan whose income is exempt under the Income Tax Act.

You should report the amount of CPP withheld on your earnings at line 308 of the Schedule 1. You should also complete the corresponding line on your provincial or territorial tax form, or on your provincial tax return for Quebec if you lived in Quebec on December 31, 2006.
