    As per CRA-Only one spouse or common-law partner can claim the amount on line 30300 for each other for the same year.

    Hi, thanks for the quick response, I believe line 30300 (spouse or common law partner amount) is different from line 30000 - basic personal amount, which is what I am unsure can be claimed by the other spouse.

    No, you can't claim your spouses Personal Basic Amount. That is specific for each individual.
