The following changes are effective January 1, 2025:

• Canada Pension Plan (CPP) has introduced two levels of contributions:
  • CPP contributions - The annual maximum is now $4,034.10 (a $166.60 per year increase) if you earn more than $71,300.
  • CPP2 contributions – If you earn more than $71,300, after you have reached the CPP annual maximum, you begin paying CPP Second Additional Contributions up to the CPP2 annual maximum of $396.00 (a $208.00 per year increase).
    • For example, an employee earning $90,000 reaches the annual CPP maximum in October 2025. Also in October, CPP2 contributions begin up to an annual maximum of $396.00. Total annual maximum contribution therefore is $4,430.10 (CPP + CPP2).
    • If applicable, CPP2 contributions display as “CP2” on your earnings statement under the Taxes section.
• Employment Insurance (EI) contributions decreased from 1.66% to 1.64%. The annual maximum is $1,077.48 (a $28.36 per year increase) if you earn more than $65,700.
• The Basic Personal Amount (BPA) tax credit amounts have been updated for 2025. If your net income is more than $177,882, more tax is withheld on a sliding scale. BPA is calculated each pay and is displayed on your earnings statement. The "Net Claim Calculated" and "Net Claim Used" are displayed under the Taxes section when relevant.
• Do I need to complete Personal Tax Credit information (TD1)?
  • If you are claiming the Basic Personal Amount tax credit only, no action is needed.
  • If you are claiming additional tax credits e.g., tuition; work for more than one employer; or are a non-resident, please review and update your information as needed on My Human Resources / Pay / Personal Tax Credit Information.

A TD1 form is the federal Personal Tax Credits Return. The TD1ON is the Ontario Personal Tax Credits Return. Completion of both forms allows ÉîÒ¹¸£ÀûÕ¾ Payroll to modify the rate of tax that will be deducted from your pay. The form outlines each of the credits that are allowed for individuals to claim, including the basic personal amount, tuition fees, etc.  You may also direct us to deduct additional taxes from your pay.

If you are claiming the Basic Personal Amount only you do not need to fill out the TD1/TD1ON forms. If you wish to claim additional tax credits, e.g. tuition; work for more than one employer; are a non-resident; or wish to claim additional tax, you should review and update your information as needed.
