Basic Personal Amount (BPA)
approximately $16,129
Minimum viable inputs
territory of residence on Dec 31 (must be Yukon), federal taxable income (T1 line 26000), federal net income.
Recommended inputs
marital status, spouse income, children, status Indian indicator, settlement land status, age (for Pioneer Utility Grant).
Ideal inputs
complete T1 data, prior YT428, First Nation membership status, copy of YT479.
R-YT-1 -- Not Yukon resident
Province/territory is not Yukon on December 31. This skill only applies to Yukon residents.
R-YT-2 -- Corporations/trusts
Individual sole proprietors only.
R-YT-3 -- Part-year resident
Escalate. Apply YT rates only to the period the taxpayer was Yukon-resident; another province may tax the balance.
R-YT-4 -- Status Indian on Yukon First Nation settlement land
Escalate. A Yukon First Nation with a Final Agreement Income Tax Act may have first-priority taxing right; the Yukon First Nations Income Tax Credit reduces YT tax to nil for that income.
Carbon Rebate
The federal carbon rebate (formerly Climate Action Incentive) for Yukon residents is delivered through the Yukon Government Carbon Price Rebate. This is delivered separately from YT428.
YSBITC
Individuals with eligible Yukon investments may claim 25% credit (max $25,000/yr). Non-refundable but carries forward 7 years and back 3. Coordinate with federal investment credits to avoid double benefit.
Mining royalties
If the taxpayer's T2125 includes Yukon mining or placer claim income, escalate — Yukon mining royalties and the Yukon-specific exploration tax credit have complex interactions.
