In Canada, individual taxes are split between federal and provincial\/territorial levels. If you are a non-resident and do not earn in any <\/span>province or territory, you only pay federal tax. If you are a resident, you pay two taxes\u2014<\/span> federal income tax and additional tax as set by your province of residence.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
The <\/span>Canada Revenue Agency (<\/span>CRA) administers both taxes, so you will deal with both levels of tax, but they are managed together for efficiency. Meaning, you file only one <\/span>income tax return. The federal government collects taxes on behalf of the <\/span>provincial governments.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
In Every Rule, There\u2019s an Exception<\/b><\/span>:<\/span> Quebec has its own tax system and tax agency, the Revenu Qu\u00e9bec. Residents of Quebec must file two separate tax returns: one for federal and one for provincial taxes.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Federal and provincial\/territorial income taxes operate within the same broad framework but with key differences in many aspects. Federal tax brackets are uniform, while provincial\/territorial tax brackets vary widely. This variability with provincial tax laws applies as well to:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\n
income tax rates (<\/span>provinces or territories set their own rates)<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n
tax credits and deductions (some are province-specific)<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n
surtaxes (Ontario, for example, imposes surtaxes on higher-income <\/span>taxpayers)<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n
health premiums (Ontario again, for instance, has a health premium based on income)<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n
personal exemption varies between provinces (at the federal level, personal exemption is around $15,000)<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
To Wrap:<\/b><\/span> Federal tax brackets apply to all Canadian taxpayers and determine the base income tax rate. Provincial tax brackets, on the other hand, vary by province and add a\u202flayer of tax based on your province of residence.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Here\u2019s a common misconception about Canada\u2019s progressive tax system. Some people believe you pay tax on all of your earnings automatically at the highest bracket it falls into. This is not how the graduated tax system works.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Canada\u2019s progressive tax system means you pay tax on the first portion of your taxable earnings at the lowest bracket. Remaining taxable amounts will fall into the next tax brackets.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Here\u2019s an example of John\u2019s federal tax liability:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\n
John has a taxable income of $60,000.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n
His first $55,000 income is taxed at the first bracket (15%). This arrives at $8,250.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n
That leaves him $5,000 taxable income. This falls into the next tax bracket (20.5%).<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n
20.5% of $5,000 is $1,025.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n
$8,250 + $1,025 is $9,275.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n
John will pay federal tax at $9,275.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
As above example, John did not immediately calculate at his highest tax bracket. He worked out tax on the first portion of his taxable income at the first tax bracket, then progressed calculating the remaining taxable income to the next tax bracket.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
