Claim for Tax Shelter Loss or Deduction T5004
   2023 
  • Fill in this form if you are an investor claiming a loss or deduction, a donation or political contribution deduction, or a tax credit for an interest in a tax shelter. We may verify and adjust your claim.
  • If you receive a T5003 slip (tax shelter), and a T5013 slip (partnership) or an official donation or political contribution shlip for the same tax shelter, do not claim amounts more than once. Under the Income Tax Act, we can apply a penalty of 50% of the understeated tax if you make a false claim knowingly or in circumstances amounting to gross negligence.
  • Attach a completed copy of this form to your income tax and benefit return together with documents (a copy of your T5003 slip and the tax shelter's statement of earnings, or a copy of your T5013 slip) to support the amount you are claiming as a loss or deduction, donation or political contribution deduction, or tax credit.
  • You have to identify a tax shelter interest you bought after August 31, 1989, with a tax shelter identification number. You have to provide this number on your claim for any investment in the tax shelter you bought after that date.

Notes
Use another form if you need more room to list your tax shelter losses or deductions. Enter the "Total amount claimed" on the last form only. That amount is the total of all losses or deductions you are claiming for the year.

* This is the social insurance number (SIN) if the investor is an individual, the Business Number if the investor is a corporation, the partnership account number if the investor is a partnership, or the trust account number if the investor is a trust.

** Income Tax Act paragraph 237.1(5)(c) - "The identification number is issued for this tax shelter shall be included in any income tax return filed by the investor. Issuance of the identification number is for administrative purpose only and does not in any way confirm the entitlement of an investor to claim any tax benefits associated with the tax shelter."
