The issue: Tax fairness in the North
The Northern Residents Tax Deduction (NRTD) was created in 1987 as a measure to offset the high cost of living in the territories and remote parts of the provinces. Residents of the Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut and sections of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, Newfoundland and Labrador and Nova Scotia may apply for the deduction.
