This revision, made earlier this month, also potentially affects T4 slip reporting.<\/p>\n<p>The new edition of Sub-part (A) of Part C of CRA form T1223 now instructs the taxpayer:<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>If you received free accommodation and &#8230; utilities for a residence that you did not own or rent, the value of both is shown as a taxable benefit in box 30 of your T4 slip.

Due to the change in the T1223 form\u2019s wording and how information may have been set out in the T4, the employee should exercise extra care to claim the correct amount.<\/p>\n<p>For employers who have not yet filed T4 slips for 2014, there is an opportunity to ensure the\u00a0combined fair rental value and eligible utilities are shown in box 30. Going-forward, the payroll register should be amended to combine these amounts for future T4 slip box 30 entries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Employers who provide housing (e.g. a manse or parsonage) to their employees who are eligible for the clergy residence deduction (CRD) should note that CRA recently changed its wording for form T1223 Clergy Residence Deduction.
