For 2019 and subsequent taxation years, the government has proposed to introduce the Canada Workers Benefit (CWB), an enhanced version of the Working Income Tax Benefit (WITB). Compared to the WITB, the CWB will increase both the maximum benefits received, as w'ell as the income level at which the benefit is phased out completely. As a result, a low-income worker earning $ 15,000 would receive up to almost $500 more from the CWB in 2019 than in 2018.
