Why? Every employer I have ever had has always changed their withholding in accordance with the new basic personal exemption amount every year, and they have always assumed that whatever other amounts were on your TD1 that you have already given them will remain the same.


Unless something in your personal circumstances has changed and you now qualify for additional / no longer qualify for specific credits, there isn't really any reason to fill out a new one every year.

The post was not meant for people that have a stable job, the same deductions year after year, and know that they don't need a new form every year. It's meant for those that *do* have changes (such as tuition/education, and amounts transferred from a spouse/dependant) and those that don't know about this form and could make use of it (there are a lot of posts each year about this).
