Canada RIT: What is Canada RIT? Do I get money back from the Government?

For Canadian taxpayers, the Canada Refund Income Tax (RIT) is a potential way to receive money back from the government. In this article, we will provide you with all the essential details you need to know about the Canada RIT.

Canada RIT: Overview

Canada RIT refers to the Canada Refund Income Tax Deposit that eligible taxpayers can receive from the Canadian Revenue Agency (CRA) after filing their taxes. It is important to note that not all Canadians are eligible for the RIT deposit. However, if you have overpaid your income tax, you may be entitled to a refund.

Factors Responsible for Canada RIT Deposit

Several factors determine whether you will receive a Canada RIT deposit:

  • Over-withholding: If your employer withholds income tax from your paycheque throughout the year, you may receive a Canada RIT deposit after filing your income tax return.
  • Tax Credits: If you have unclaimed tax credits from the previous year, you may be eligible to receive a RIT deposit.
  • Tax Deductions: If you are eligible for tax deductions but did not claim them during the year, you may receive a RIT deposit.
  • Tax Installments: If you paid more in income tax installments throughout the year than your actual tax liability, you may be eligible for a RIT deposit.

Receiving RIT Deposit from the Government

As mentioned earlier, not all Canadians are eligible for the RIT deposit. To qualify, you must have filed your income tax return on time and accurately. The CRA will process your return, calculate your actual tax liability, and compare it to the tax you paid. If you overpaid, you will receive a RIT deposit. It is important to note that the RIT refund is not taxable, so you do not need to include it in your subsequent tax filings.

Timing of RIT Deposits

The timing of RIT deposits varies based on when you file your income tax return or when your return is reassessed. In Canada, the tax season typically runs from February to June, with personal income taxes due by April 30th (June 15th for self-employed individuals). If you file your return online, you can expect to receive your RIT deposit within 14 days. However, if you choose to paper file, it may take up to eight weeks or more. International tax filers should expect a longer wait time of over 16 weeks. Additionally, if the CRA identifies any discrepancies in your return, it may result in a delay in processing your refund.
