The new tax rate for the first income bracket for individuals at the federal level for 2025 has been adopted in the Commons. This new rate of 14% comes into effect on July 1st and will ensure that for 2025, the effective rate will be 14.5% (taking into account the first half of the year at 15%).

The 2025 determination table is now available.

Fiscal rules have also been updated for 2025, except for Canada Workers Benefit and Quebec Drug Insurance premiums, for which the updated parameters have not been published yet. We will update these as soon as the information becomes available.

Happy New Year!

A correction has been made to the calculation of the eligible ceiling for child care expenses for the provincial refundable tax credit for child care expenses.

This correction has an impact on the credit calculated in the event that the total childcare costs exceed the ceiling provided per child for this credit. So if you have scenarios with the following conditions:

• more than one child in the scenario
• daycare expenses other than reduced contribution or holiday camp expenses giving entitlement to tax relief, the total of which exceeds the admissible ceiling for the year in your scenario.

This correction is applicable to all years supported by JuriFamille, i.e. from 2008 to 2024.

Following publication of Schedule 6 for the federal income tax declaration, we have updated the rates for the CWB.

For 2022 scenarios, JuriFamille was using rates that had minor discrepancies with the official 2022 rates. They have been updated to the official 2022 CWB rates.

For 2023 scenarios, up until this update, the same CWB rates as 2022 were used. They have now been updated to the official 2023 rates.

NOTE: Since the correction might cause some changes in the child and spousal support calculations, the 2022 and 2023 scenarios are now marked as read-only.

For 2024 scenarios, since the offcial rates will only be published next year, JuriFamille uses the official 2023 rates.

The 2024 determination table is now available.

Fiscal rules have also been updated for 2024, except for Canada Workers Benefit and Quebec Drug Insurance premiums, for which the updated parameters have not been published yet.

Happy New Year!

The Mediator Invoice form (SJ-945) has been updated to take into account the new tarification effective as of today, November 23, 2023.

As such, in JuriFamille, if the earliest mediation session has a date before Nov 23, 2023, the hourly rate of $110 will be applied. Otherwise, the hourly rate of $130 will be applied.

This update now allows, when creating a case file, to choose to designate parties with father and mother or with parent 1 / parent 2. Such designations are mainly used in the Schedule I form. In most places (other produced forms and in the JuriFamille interface), the actual names of the parties are used.

For existing case files, since it was the only option until now, the epicene form (parent 1 / parent 2) is already activated, but you can change it by clicking on Case file parameters in the beige block on the right to deactivate the option named Use Party 1 / Party 2 instead of Mister / Madam.

JuriFamille now allows to share case files among users of a group license!

If you are currently responsible for a group license, a group account has automatically been created for you. This allows all members of your group license to share case files, if they wish to do so.

Please note that the introduction of this feature will not enable any sharing without your explicit authorization. For all your existing case files and any new case file you create from now on, you will have to explicitly enable sharing for each one, in order for your group to be able to see and edit them.

We have added documentation that explains how to use the new sharing feature in the context of a group.

We have made some changes to the navigation and summary screens of the family patrimony and the statement of partnership of acquests. They are now grouped under the Form IV tab, with each one's summary under its own sub-tab. In addition, we also reconfigured the information in the summaries to better align with the printed forms.

Note that these changes do not affect the calculations, only the way the information is presented on screen.

We have corrected a bug that appeared in the transition to the new JuriFamille version concerning asset deductions in the Family Patrimony. If you have a Family Patrimony scenario with deductions to assets, please make sure everything is as expected.

The 2023 determination table is now available.

Fiscal rules have also been updated for 2023, except for Canada Workers Benefit and Quebec Drug Insurance premiums, for which the updated parameters have not been published yet.

We have added the automatic calculation of the provincial non refundable credit for "Other dependants", in this case an adult child in the case file (line 367, Schedule A Part C in the income tax report).

This amount is given when an adult child is not a post-secondary student or when the child is a student but does not transfer any amount to the parents.

The 2020 determination table is now available in JuriFamille.

Fiscal rules have also been updated to 2020, in particular the adjusted federal non refundable credit base amount. On the provincial side, we added the income deduction for QPP and QPIP contributions introduced in 2019. In addition, we have updated the new tarification of subsidized child care for 2020 and 2019.

We have adjusted calculations on Quebec medical expense credits. Also at the federal level, we now detail the Quebec abatement refundable credit variations on relief calculations pertaining to post-secondary education and special expenses.

Following the judgment rendered on September 23, 2019, and the findings of the Honorable Justice Marie-Claude Armstrong on the method of calculating the conversion of non-taxable income into taxable income, please note that the necessary corrective measures have been made to our calculations and Jurifamille is, as usual, up to date with the evolution family law.

In 2019, the Working Income Tax Benefit (WITB) has been renamed and replaced by the Canada Workers Benefit (CWB). The calculations are pretty much the same but the rates have been updated.

Additionally, the new tarification of the subsidized childcare announced in last March's budget have been updated in JuriFamille.

Only 20% of the eligible registration or membership fees are attributed as reimbursable tax credit.

The new determination table, as well as the fiscal rules, for 2019 are now available in JuriFamille.

New scenarios will use it by default starting on January 1st, 2019. An existing scenario's applicable year may be changed by accessing the scenario's parameters.

The Mediator's report and the Fee invoice forms have been updated to the June 2018 versions.

The private child care credit numbers announced in the recent provincial budget have been updated. Also, there have been corrections for the credits related to dividend income and youth artistic and physical activity. In addition, the school supplies supplement amount has been added to the Child assistance payment.

The amount was still reported as a non refundable credit for 2015 and subsequent years. It is now calculated and reported as a refundable credit.

The mediation forms are now reactivated for case files created after January 1st 2016. The old forms from before December 2012 remain available.

The subsidized child care fees of 2015 and after can now be calculated automatically by selecting the appropiate child and entering the number of days per year in care.

We have corrected a minor calculation error in the Canadian Child Benefit amounts. The error affected only scenarios for which the shared custody was split exactly at 40% - 60% between parents.

The UCCB and the CCTB have been replaced by the CCB.

Please note that in 2016, the CCTB will be included in the tax relief calculations for the first 6 months as it will have been replaced mid-year by the CCB.

Minor update to provincial Heath Services Fund and Drug Insurance parameters.

The following updates were made to Jurifamille and are now available:

1) We integrated the new "formulaire de déclaration" according to section 444 of the Code de procédure civile. It replaces form 827.5 for the new scenarios having 2016 as applicable year. To produce a form 444 in an existing file, you have to create a new "scenario" in the file.

2) The new table 2016 for child support is available since January 1st. All new scnearios will have 2016 as default year. Fos existing file, it is possible to change to 2016. You only have to click on the link "scenario setting" in the blue box at the right of the screen to select the applicable year.

The 2016 Table to determine the basic parental contribution has been integrated. To use this table in an existing scenario, change the applicable year from the scenario settings page. All new scenarios will use the new 2016 table by default.

New scenarios will also allow production of the form entitled Statement Required Under Article 444, which replaces the Sworn Statement Under Article 827.5.

The expected and available data for the current fiscal year have been integrated. Certain amounts, such as the UCCB and CCTB, still haven't (at this time) received Royal Assent.

It is now possible to log in directly from the home page. Once logged in, the case files are now paginated, and there is also a recently edited case file list for quick access.

The 2015 determination table is now available in JuriFamille. New scenarios will use it by default starting on January 1st, 2015. A scenario's applicable year may be changed by accessing the scenario's parameters.
