Minimum Tax

Schedule 12 
 
 
If the trust is subject to minimum tax, use this schedule to calculate the trust's minimum tax and minimum tax carryover. Include a completed copy of
this schedule with the trust's return.
For a list of trusts not subject to minimum tax, see page 4.
For information on how to complete this schedule, see the instructions on pages 4 and 5.
To calculate provincial or territorial minimum tax, see pages 5 and 6.
Where a graduated rate estate’s (GRE) taxation year begins in 2023, the GRE should use the 2023 version of Schedule 12-Minimum Tax to calculate its
minimum tax liability for that taxation year. For more information on how to complete the 2023 version of Schedule 12, see page 5.
