Tax Credit
A tax credit is more valuable than a tax deduction
- a $1 credit reduces tax by $1
- refundable
- refunds the amount of the credit even if tax is not paid
- example: Goods & Services Tax (GST)
- nonrefundable
- only refunds the amount of the credit when tax is owed (explain better)
- example: charitable contribution
