Line 15000 on your <\/span>i<\/span><\/b>ncome tax return, formerly called line 150, is where you write down your total income before deductions. This includes all sources of income you earned throughout the tax year, from your salary to pensions, which is why it can be interchangeable with \u2018gross income.\u2019\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>
While line 15000 allows you to calculate your total income, it is not used to calculate your <\/span>income tax bill or <\/span>refunds. It is used, however, as a basis of your taxable income and to determine your eligibility for potential credits and benefits.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>
Learn the Differences! \u2018Total\u2019 or \u2018gross\u2019 income is the amount you earned in a tax year before deductions. Taxable income is the amount where your \u2018total income\u2019 is already subtracted with eligible deductions. Net income is your take-home pay after taxes were deducted.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Calculating your Line 15000 is critical\u202fin determining your tax liability. It is usually done by summing up <\/span>the following lines:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>
Line 10100<\/b><\/span>: Employment Income<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>
Line 10400<\/b><\/span>: Other Employment Income<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>
Line 14300<\/b><\/span>: Self-Employment Income<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>
Line 14700<\/b><\/span>: Total of Workers’ Compensation, Social Assistance, and Net Federal <\/span>Supplements<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li><\/ul>
You will need the T4 slip to get an accurate amount of how much you are paid by your employer.\u00a0 This is also called Statement of Remuneration Paid, which your employer sends to both you and the <\/span>Canada Revenue Agency. More reason you need to disclose your income and pay taxes correctly, as CRA knows exactly how much you earn.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>
Where is line 15000 on T4 slip?\u00a0 You can check the following:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>
Box 14 on your T4 slip. This outlines your employment income, which you will subsequently report on Line 10100 of your tax return.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>
Other boxes on the T4 slip. This may contain additional income types and benefits contributing to your overall income.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li><\/ul>
Pro-Tip<\/b><\/span>: To work out your taxable income, subtract eligible deductions from your total income. This amount arrives at your net income amount, which is your tax-deducted take home pay. However, to ensure you get the right calculations, consult tax expert professionals for the task.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>
