Fill Out CRA Form TD1NU Online

What is Form TD1NU used for

Nunavut administers its own personal income tax with territorial credit amounts, and the TD1NU converts your expected claims into the total claim amount your payer needs for the territorial deduction tables. Nunavut's personal tax rates sit among the lowest in Canada, so the territorial deduction is often a modest slice of the total withheld.

The whole territory lies within a prescribed northern zone, but the associated northern residents deductions are federal. They are handled through the federal TD1 and your annual return, while the TD1NU sticks to Nunavut's own credits.

Who fills out Form TD1NU

The form is for new employees whose territory of employment is Nunavut, new pension recipients resident there, workers whose credit entitlements have changed during the year, and anyone who wants a fixed extra amount of tax withheld from each pay.

You can skip filing one if the basic personal amount is your only claim and your situation is unchanged; employers apply that amount automatically when no form is on file.

How to fill out Form TD1NU

Start from the current year's version of the form, as the amounts are indexed each year. The sequence of claims:

• Line 1: the Nunavut basic personal amount from the current year's form.
• Line 2: the age amount if you will be 65 or older on December 31, within the income limit stated on the form.
• Line 3: the pension income amount for eligible pension or annuity income.
• Line 4: tuition amounts if you will study at an eligible institution, following the form's instructions.
• Line 5: the disability amount for disability tax credit holders.
• Lines 6 and 7: the spouse or common-law partner amount and the amount for an eligible dependant, each reduced by the dependant's income.
• Line 8: the caregiver amount for an infirm dependant age 18 or older.
• Lines 9 and 10: amounts transferred from your spouse or common-law partner or from a dependant.
• Total line: your combined claim, then the signature and date. Page 2 contains the multiple employer checkbox, the low income exemption, and the additional withholding request.

When to give it to your employer or payer

Pass the completed TD1NU to your employer or pension payer with your federal TD1 when payments begin. Report changes in your entitlements on a fresh form within seven days; the CRA never receives the document directly.

If you work for more than one Nunavut employer at once, claim the territorial amounts with only one of them and enter zero with the multiple employer box checked on the rest.
