Char lee Posted July 29, 2022 Report Share Posted July 29, 2022 Hello, I was awarded a Human Rights contribution by my former employer. While the lawyer said it was a non-taxable payment where do I enter this on my income tax or do I even have to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo123 Posted August 1, 2022 Report Share Posted August 1, 2022 Hello Char lee, Please clarify what you mean by 'contribution'. Were you issued a receipt? In general the following are non-taxable : Amounts that are not taxed You do not need to report certain non-taxable amounts as income, including the following: amounts that are exempt from tax under section 87 of the Indian Act (Section 87 tax exemption) most lottery winnings most gifts and inheritances amounts paid by Canada or an allied country (if the amount is not taxable in that country) for disability or death of a war veteran due to war service GST/HST credit and Canada child benefit (CCB) payments, including those from related provincial and territorial programs family allowance payments and the supplement for handicapped children paid by the province of Quebec compensation received from a province or territory if you were a victim of a criminal act or a motor vehicle accident most amounts received from a life insurance policy following someone's death most types of strike pay you received from your union, even if you perform picketing duties as a requirement of membership https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/individuals/topics/about-your-tax-return/tax-return/completing-a-tax-return/personal-income/amounts-that-taxed.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
