Income Tax Credits for Families

If you are a lower-income family with children  
under age 18, and one or both parents work,  
you may be able to get the Alberta Family 
Employment Tax Credit. 

The tax credit gives your family a payment twice a year, 
in July and January, depending on your income. You do  
not need to apply. The information you provide for the 
Canada Child Tax Benefit and on your and your spouse's 
income tax return is used to decide if you are able to  
get the credit. 

For more information, contact Alberta Finance: 
Call 1-800-959-2809 toll-free. 

Go to 
www.finance.gov.ab.ca/business/tax_rebates 
then select Alberta Family Employment Tax Credit 
from the right-hand menu.
 
Did you know 

that even if you have no income, or don't earn 
enough to pay taxes, filing a return could help you? 
Some program benefits are provided automatically 
based on your return. Other programs require a 
Notice of Assessment before you can get benefits. 
So, file a return every year! If you need help to file 
a return call the Canada Revenue Agency toll-free  
at 1-800-959-8281.
