本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛The 2006 Federal Budget commits $3.7 billion over two years for the new $1,200 Universal Child Care Benefit. New benefit is available to all Canadian families, income is no longer a factor for new child tax credit. However, as many as 200,000 children under the age of six are unregistered with Canada Revenue Agency and as a result, their parents will not be receiving the new universal Child Care Benefit. Please read following article from CRA to find out whether you should apply to receive the $100 monthly payments:
1. If I already receive the Canada Child Tax Benefit, do I need to apply for the Universal Child Care Benefit?
No. Under proposed legislation, the Universal Child Care Benefit (UCCB) will be using information from the Canada Child Tax Benefit database to issue UCCB payments.
2. If I do not receive the Canada Child Tax Benefit, do I need to apply for the Universal Child Care Benefit?
If you do not currently receive the Canada Child Tax Benefit (CCTB), perhaps because your family income is too high, but have previously applied, you will not be required to re-apply in order to receive the proposed Universal Child Care Benefit (UCCB). However, if you have never applied for the CCTB and you wish to receive the UCCB, please complete the Canada Child Tax Benefit application form.
Please notice the payment of $100 a month per eligible child will be taxable in the hands of the parent with the lower income.
