T4 box 22: income tax deducted
Your employer issues a T4 for every job you had during the year, by the end of February.
- What it is
- All the federal and provincial income tax your employer withheld from your pay during the year (in Quebec, federal tax only; Quebec tax is on your RL-1).
- Where it goes on your return
- Enter it on line 43700. Add box 22 from all your slips together.
- How it affects your refund
- Your refund is roughly box 22 minus the tax you owe. Drop your T4 in the Slip Reader to see the exact estimate.
- This is the box that decides your refund: if your employer withheld more than the tax you owe, you get the difference back.
