If in 2017 you were 60 to 70 years of age, you received a CPP or QPP retirement pension, and you had employment and/or
self-employment income, you were considered a CPP working beneficiary and you were required to make CPP contributions.
However, if you were at least 65 years of age but under 70, you can elect to stop paying CPP contributions.
If you have employment income for 2017 and elected in 2017 to stop paying CPP contributions or revoked in 2017 an election
made in a prior year, you should have already completed Form CPT30, Election to Stop Contributing to the Canada Pension Plan,
or Revocation of a Prior Election, and sent it to us and your employer(s).
If you had only self-employment income for 2017 and elect in 2017 to stop paying CPP contributions on your self-employment
earnings, enter the month in 2017 for which you choose to start this election in box 372 below. The date cannot be earlier than the
month you turn 65 and you are receiving a CPP or QPP retirement pension. For example, if you turn 65 in June, you can choose
any month from June to December. If you choose the month of June, enter 06 in box 372 because June is the sixth month of the
year. If in 2017 you are revoking an election made in a prior year on contributions on self-employment earnings, enter the month in
2017 for which you choose to revoke this election in box 374 below. Your election remains valid until you revoke it or you turn 70.
If you start receiving employment income (other than employment income earned in Quebec) in a future year, you will have to
complete Form CPT30 in that year for your election to remain valid.
If you had both employment income and self-employment income in 2017 and wanted to elect to stop paying CPP contributions in
2017, or to revoke in 2017 an election made in a prior year, you should have completed Form CPT30 in 2017. An election filed
using Form CPT30 applies to all income from pensionable earnings, including self-employment earnings, as of the first day of the
month after the date you gave this form to your employer. If you completed and submitted Form CPT30 when you became
employed in 2017 but your intent was to elect in 2017 to stop paying CPP contributions or revoke an election made in a prior year
on your self-employment income before you became employed, enter the month you want to stop contributing in box 372 below,
or if you want to revoke in 2017 an election made in a prior year, enter the month you want to resume contributing in box 374
below. If you did not complete and submit Form CPT30 for 2017 when you became employed, you cannot elect to stop paying
CPP contributions or revoke an election made in a prior year on your self-employment earnings for 2017 on this schedule. To be
valid, an election or revocation that begins in 2017 must be filed on or before June 15, 2019.
