T3, Statement of Trust Income Allocations and Designations

2025V1 - updated 2024-10-15

Reporting capital gains (losses) on tax slips

The CRA will not be revising or altering the tax slips that were published in the fall of 2024 or their associated XML specifications and schemas.

The instructions on the T3, T4, T4PS, T5, and T5013 slips currently reference the relevant lines on the T1 Schedule 3 or the T1 income tax and benefit return in respect of capital dispositions that occurred in Period 1 (dispositions that occurred prior to June 25, 2024) and Period 2 (dispositions that occurred on or after June 25, 2024).

While the CRA has reverted to the currently enacted capital gains inclusion rate of one-half, we are maintaining Period 1 and Period 2 reporting on the T1 and T3 schedules. Period 1 and Period 2 reporting is being maintained to ensure consistency with the tax slips that have already been published, those currently being issued to taxpayers and those filed with the CRA. As well, the proposed increase to the lifetime capital gains exemption applies starting with capital dispositions in Period 2 of qualified farm or fishing property and qualified small business corporation shares.
