Canadian Tax Rate?!?


When my dad lived in Ottawa about 20 years ago, he was paying around 35% of his income as tax. Of late he has been thinking of moving back to Canada from the US, but a Canadian friend told him that he is paying nearly 60% of his income as tax!!! Is this accurate - it seems outrageous! I can't fathom anyone doling out their hard earned salary just to give more than half of it away!

That number is still wrong.
http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/tax/individuals... lists the tax rates.

Now your father's friend might be including non-income taxes like property tax, GST which is a VAT, and provincial retail sales taxes

If he wants an estimate that includes all forms of tax, then he can use this calculator:

As for the actual federal and provincial income tax rates, here they are:
