Instructions
Are you required to complete this form?
Complete this form and give it to your employer or payer so that they can
determine the income tax to withhold from the salaries, wages, commissions,
pension income, parental insurance benefits, Employment Insurance
benefits, wage loss replacement benefits or any other remuneration they
pay you. If you do not complete this form, your employer or payer will only
take into account the basic personal amount to determine the income tax
to be withheld. The deduction code will remain in effect until you give your
employer or payer a new duly completed copy of this form.
You are not required to complete this form each year to benefit from the
annual indexation of the income tax system.
The personal tax credits and deductions that appear on this form may
besubject to a limit if you are not resident in Canada or if you become

entered on the previously completed copy of form TP-1015.3-V.
