T1-2024 | Canada Pension Plan Contributions and Overpayment |
Schedule 8 | ||||||||||||||||||||
The Canada Pension Plan (CPP) was amended to provide for the enhancement of pensions. The enhancements are funded by additional contributions that began in January 2019. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
As of January 2024, a second additional CPP contribution is required on pensionable earnings that are more than the year's maximum pensionable earnings but not more than the year's additional maximum pensionable earnings. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
CPP contributions consist of a base amount, first additional amount, and second additional amount. The contributions that you are required to make are determined by your total amount of pensionable earnings for the year. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
Your employer will have already deducted the contributions from your salary or wages. As a self-employed individual, you will calculate your required contributions (if any), including the base, first and second additional amounts, on this schedule. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
For more information about the enhancements, go to canada.ca/cpp-enhancement. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
For more information about lines 22200, 22215, 30800, and 31000, go to canada.ca/fed-tax-information. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Part 1 – Election to stop contributing to the CPP or revocation of a prior election | ||||||||||||||||||||||
You were considered a CPP working beneficiary and were required to make CPP contributions in 2024 if you met all of the following conditions: |
||||||||||||||||||||||
• | You were 60 to 70 years of age | |||||||||||||||||||||
• | You received a CPP or QPP retirement pension | |||||||||||||||||||||
• | You had employment income or self-employment income or both | |||||||||||||||||||||
However, if you were at least 65 years of age, but under 70 years of age, you can elect to stop paying CPP contributions. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Employment income | ||||||||||||||||||||||
If you had employment income for 2024 and elected in 2024 to stop paying CPP contributions or revoked in 2024 an election made in a previous year, you should have already completed and sent Form CPT30, Election to Stop Contributing to the Canada Pension Plan or Revocation of a Prior Election, to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and your employer(s). |
||||||||||||||||||||||
Self-employment income only | ||||||||||||||||||||||
If you had only self-employment income for 2024 and are electing in 2024 to stop paying CPP contributions on your self-employment earnings, enter the month in 2024 that you are choosing to start this election on line 50372 below. The date cannot be earlier than the month you turned 65 years of age and received a CPP or QPP retirement pension. For example, if you turned 65 in June, you can choose any month from June to December. If you choose the month of June, enter "06" on line 50372. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
If, in 2024, you are revoking an election made in a previous year on contributions on self-employment earnings, enter the month in 2024 that you are choosing to revoke this election on line 50374 below. Your election remains valid until you revoke it or turn 70 years of age. If you start receiving employment income (other than employment income earned in Quebec) in a future year, you will need to complete Form CPT30 in that year for your election to remain valid. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
Employment and self-employment income | ||||||||||||||||||||||
If you had both employment income and self-employment income in 2024 and wanted to elect to stop paying CPP contributions in 2024 or revoke, in 2024, an election made in a previous year, you should have completed Form CPT30 in 2024. An election made using Form CPT30 applies to all income from pensionable earnings, including self-employment earnings, as of the first day of the month after the date you gave this form to your employer. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
If you completed and sent Form CPT30 when you became employed in 2024, but your intent was to elect in 2024 to stop paying CPP contributions or revoke an election made in a previous year on your self-employment income before you became employed, enter the month you want to stop paying CPP contributions on line 50372. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
If you want to revoke, in 2024, an election made in a previous year, enter the month that you want to resume contributing to the CPP on line 50374. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
If you did not complete and send Form CPT30 for 2024 when you became employed, you cannot elect to stop paying CPP contributions or revoke an election made in a previous year on your self-employment earnings for 2024 on this schedule. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
Please specify prior year CPT30 or Schedule 8 election/revocation: |
