What is TD1BC?
TD1BC, the 2026 British Columbia Personal Tax Credits Return, is a Canada Revenue Agency form your employer or payer uses to determine the British Columbia portion of income tax to withhold from your pay or pension. You claim the provincial personal amounts that apply to you, such as the basic personal amount and credits for a spouse, dependants, age or disability. It works alongside the federal TD1 to set your total tax deducted at source.

Who files TD1BC?
- Employees working in British Columbia starting a new job

Do I need the federal TD1 too?
Yes. TD1BC sets only the British Columbia tax deducted. Complete it with the federal TD1 so both the federal and provincial portions of tax are withheld correctly.
Who keeps the completed form?
Your employer or payer keeps TD1BC on file and uses it to calculate withholding. You do not send it to the CRA. Complete a new one when your situation changes.
