How salaries are taxed in Canada
Canadian employees pay federal income tax (15% to 33%) plus provincial tax — Ontario adds 5.05% to 13.16% — along with CPP pension contributions and EI premiums. Combined marginal rates in Ontario exceed 53% at high incomes.
The system offsets its rates with registered accounts: RRSP contributions are deducted from taxable income (limit ~18% of prior-year earnings), and TFSA growth is entirely tax-free. Using both is the difference between the sticker tax rate and what high earners actually pay.
The tax year matches the calendar year and returns are due 30 April. Employers withhold at source, but most Canadians still file to claim credits and RRSP deductions.
