+# PolicyEngine Canada vs SPSD/M Validation Report
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+This report validates PolicyEngine Canada calculations against Statistics Canada's Social Policy Simulation Database and Model (SPSD/M) Version 29.0. The validation focuses on key federal benefit programs including Old Age Security (OAS), Canada Child Benefit (CCB), and GST/HST Credit.
+
+**Overall Result**: OAS calculations show **100% accuracy** against SPSD/M. CCB and GST calculations show discrepancies that need investigation.
+
+## Test Results
+
+### ✅ Old Age Security (OAS) - FULLY VALIDATED
+
+All 8 OAS test cases passed validation against SPSD/M expected values:
+
+| Test Case | Description | Result |
+|-----------|-------------|--------|
+| 1 | Basic OAS with no clawback ($30k income) | ✅ PASS |
+| 2 | Partial clawback at $100k income | ✅ PASS |
+| 3 | Senior over 75 with 10% boost | ✅ PASS |
+| 4 | Full clawback at $150k income | ✅ PASS |
+| 5 | Partial residency (50% benefit) | ✅ PASS |
+| 6 | Income at exact threshold ($90,997) | ✅ PASS |
+| 7 | Age 75 at threshold with boost | ✅ PASS |
+| 8 | Minimal repayment ($1k above threshold) | ✅ PASS |
+
+**Key Validated Components:**
+- ✅ OAS base amount: $8,628 (2024)
+- ✅ Repayment threshold: $90,997 (2024)
+- ✅ Repayment rate: 15%
+- ✅ Older senior boost: 10% at age 75
+- ✅ Residency calculation: years/40
+- ✅ Repayment capping at benefit amount
+
+**SPSD/M Variable Mapping:**
+- `oas_pre_repayment` → SPSD/M `imoasmax`
+- `oas_repayment` → SPSD/M recovery tax
+- `oas_net` → SPSD/M `imioas`
+
+### ⚠️ Canada Child Benefit (CCB) - NEEDS REVIEW
+
+CCB tests show significant discrepancies:
+
+| Test Case | PolicyEngine | Expected | Difference | Status |
+|-----------|--------------|----------|------------|--------|
+| Low income family | $6,450 | $15,054 | -$8,604 | ❌ FAIL |
+| Middle income partial | $147 | $1,152 | -$1,005 | ❌ FAIL |
+| High income phase-out | $0 | $0 | $0 | ✅ PASS |
+| Single parent 3 children | $6,133 | $17,366 | -$11,233 | ❌ FAIL |
+
+**Issues Identified:**
+1. Base amounts appear to be using 2022 values instead of 2024
+2. The calculation seems to be missing full annual amounts
+3. Phase-out calculations may have incorrect rates
+
+**Required Actions:**
+- Update CCB parameters to 2024 values
+- Verify annual vs monthly calculation
+- Review phase-out rate implementation
+
+### ⚠️ GST/HST Credit - NEEDS REVIEW
+
+GST Credit tests show systematic underestimation:
+
+| Test Case | PolicyEngine | Expected | Difference | Status |
+|-----------|--------------|----------|------------|--------|
+| Single person low income | $467 | $519 | -$52 | ❌ FAIL |
+| Married couple | $467 | $1,038 | -$571 | ❌ FAIL |
+| Family with 2 children | $789 | $1,586 | -$797 | ❌ FAIL |
+| High income phase-out | $628 | $0 | +$628 | ❌ FAIL |
+| Single parent | $628 | $1,312 | -$684 | ❌ FAIL |
+
+**Issues Identified:**
+1. GST credit amounts appear outdated
+2. Phase-out calculations not working correctly
+3. Family composition adjustments may be incorrect
+
+## Recommendations
+
+### Immediate Actions
+1. **OAS**: No action needed - fully validated ✅
+2. **CCB**: Update parameters to 2024 values from official sources
+3. **GST**: Update credit amounts and phase-out thresholds for 2024
+
+### Future Improvements
+1. Implement automated SPSD/M comparison tests in CI/CD pipeline
+2. Add more comprehensive test cases for provincial benefits
+3. Create parameter update schedule aligned with government announcements
+4. Implement OAS Allowance income testing (currently simplified)
+
+## Technical Notes
+
+### Test Methodology
+- Created standardized test cases based on SPSD/M documentation
+- Used PolicyEngine Canada's test framework for validation
+- Compared outputs with expected SPSD/M values using 1% tolerance for OAS
+- All tests run against 2024 tax year parameters
+
+### Known Limitations
+1. OAS Allowance implementation is simplified (no income testing)
+2. Some parameters may be using older values pending official updates
+3. Provincial variations not fully tested
+
+### Data Sources
+- SPSD/M Version 29.0 Parameter Guide
+- Government of Canada official benefit calculators
+- CRA published rates and thresholds for 2024
+
+## Conclusion
+
+PolicyEngine Canada demonstrates **excellent accuracy for OAS calculations**, achieving 100% validation against SPSD/M. The CCB and GST credit calculations require parameter updates to achieve full parity. Once these updates are implemented, PolicyEngine Canada will provide SPSD/M-equivalent calculations for core federal benefits.
