With this in mind, we’ve created this useful guide to help you get a better handle on your tax obligations and entitlements.
Let’s get started.
Q. What are the tax rates in Canada?
A. Taxpayers in Canada are liable to pay both Fédéral et provincial tax on their earnings.
There is a tax-free allowance of $11,809 which means you can earn up to this amount without paying federal tax on your income.
The more you earn over this figure, the more tax you’re obliged to pay. Federal tax rates start at 15% on the first $46,605 of taxable income and provincial tax rates depend on the province where you work.
Taxpayers must make Employment Insurance and Canadian Pension Plan contributions also.
Canadian Pension Plan (RPC)
RPC offre aux cotisants et à leurs familles un remplacement partiel des gains en cas de départ à la retraite, disability or death. Almost all individuals who make over $3,500 a year working in Canada (outside Quebec – who have their own system) contribute to CPP.
Taxpayers contribute 4.95% of their gross pay in CPP for each pay period. This amounts to half of the contribution (employers pay the other half).
Employment Insurance (PAS)
The EI program provides temporary income support to unemployed workers while they look for employment or to upgrade their skills. The EI program also provides special benefits to workers who take time off work due to illness, pregnancy, caring for a new-born or newly adopted child (and more).
All employees contribute 1.63% of gross pay in Employment Insurance (PAS) for each pay period.
