Deductions Hypertax handles

A deduction lowers the income your tax is worked out on. The pension, RRSP, union dues, CPP and moving-expense deductions Hypertax can claim on a T1.

Updated 24 July 2026 · 1 min read

A deduction comes off your income before the tax is worked out. A credit comes off the tax afterwards. Both lower what you pay, in different ways.

Deductions Hypertax claims on a T1

  • Registered pension plan contributions, T4 box 20, on line 20700.
  • RRSP contributions, from your own receipts, on line 20800.
  • Union and professional dues, T4 box 44, on line 21200.
  • Enhanced CPP and CPP2 contributions, from T4 boxes 16 and 16A, on line 22215.
  • Moving expenses for a move for work or study, on line 21900.

What Hypertax does not deduct

Employment expenses on a Form T2200, and anything belonging to a business or a rental. If one of these matters to you, Hypertax is the wrong tool and says so up front.
