2016 Personal Tax Credit Tables

Do you know your personal tax credit tables?  A non-refundable tax credit can only be used to reduce federal or provincial/territorial taxes payable to zero.  They cannot be carried over to future years.  However, unclaimed donations can be carried forward up to 5 years, and sometimes unclaimed medical expenses can be claimed in the next year, depending on the timing.  Unclaimed tuition, education and textbook amounts can either be transferred to someone else or carried forward.
