CUPE 917

01/18/2025

As some of you know, we have lost access to this page so I have
created a new one which we will be using moving forward.

The new page called "CUPE 917 Uvic Outside Workers" can be found at:
https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61569353756019

Please follow the new page as this one will be deleted some time in the
next week.

A special thank you goes out to former president, Steve Nixon, who still
had access to make this post for us and offered to help out.

In solidarity

2024 TD1 tax forms

Update Jan 24 2024:

The 2024 TD1 has now been released and is availible to complete. Prior basic amounts have been indexed to the new basic amounts.

There are a few remaining issues with the online TD1.

The Basic amount "Worksheet (TD1-WS)" calculator is not currently producing the correct values.
The selector for "Have you claimed tax credit amounts with other employers?" is not setting the basic amount to zero.
We are awaiting updates for these issues, but in the mean time, we have released the TD1 so that you are able to complete most of the functions allowed.

Dynamic, hands-on learning; research that makes a vital impact; and discovery and innovation in Canada's most extraordinary academic environment provide an Edge that can't be found anywhere else.

UVIC 2024 TD1 tax froms:

2024 TD1 tax forms will not be available until late January 2023 due to the Canadian Revenue Agency's (CRA) delayed release of the 2024 TD1 form.

As a temporary solution, UVic will be setting every employee's basic exemption to:

- $15,705 for federal tax, and
- $12580 for BC provincial tax.


How does this affect your personal taxes?
If you do not normally complete an annual TD1 or if you normally just claim the basic amount, then there will be no effect on your taxes.

If you normally complete a TD1 to:

-Increase or decrease your exemption,
-declare another employer,
-declare other amounts, or
-add additional taxes;

your initial 1-2 payrolls will not have your personalized tax deductions (deducted at source). This will be resolved when you file your taxes 2024 taxes in 2025.



What should you do next?
Please check this page or www.uvic.ca/TD1 on the week of Jan 2nd.

If you have any additional questions, please contact the payroll office.
