Hi I was looking at schedule III of the Child support guidlines and saw this:
Special or extraordinary expenses
3.1 To calculate income for the purpose of determining an amount under section 7 of this Regulation, deduct the support, not including child support, paid to the other parent or spouse and, as applicable, make the following adjustment in respect of universal child care benefits:
(a) deduct benefits that are included to determine the parent or spouse’s total income in the T1 General form issued by the Canada Revenue Agency and that are for a child for whom special or extraordinary expenses are not being requested; or
(b) include benefits that are not included to determine the parent or spouse’s total income in the T1 General form issued by the Canada Revenue Agency and that are received by the parent or spouse for a child for whom special or extraordinary expenses are being requested.
Does this mean that things like CCTB and GST/HST credit and OTB should all be included when considering s.7 expenses? It would be great if it was, but I've never heard of it happening.
