  1. Certain harmonisation adjustments could not be performed at the microdata level. The aggregate amounts do not correspond exactly to those in Appendix C.
  2. SNA data is only available at the aggregate level so it is not possible to supply a distribution.
  3. T1 file is the raw data received from CRA (with deceased filers removed), the main difference compared to the T1FF is the presence of $1 amounts in the fields of several hundred thousand records. For SLID and T1FF these have been set to zero, in Census, they have been imputed using labour and other personal characteristics.
  4. T4 represents the slips filled in by the employers and filed with CRA, they have been aggregated by person (following the Social Insurance Number) and rounded to the closest $100.
  5. Level of the 5th percentile.
