Frequently Asked Questions
Which province has the lowest income tax in Canada?
On a $100,000 employment income, Nunavut leaves the most take-home pay — about $76,654 — while Nova Scotia leaves the least at roughly $68,867. The territories and Alberta generally lead because of low rates and large basic personal amounts; the Atlantic provinces generally trail.
Does the province I live in or work in determine my tax?
Where you live on December 31 of the tax year determines which provincial rates apply, not where your employer is. If you move provinces mid-year, your whole year is taxed at your December 31 province of residence — which is why a December move can be worth real money in either direction.
Is federal tax the same in every province?
Yes — the federal brackets and rates are identical nationwide. The one exception is Quebec, where residents receive a 16.5% federal abatement that reduces federal tax, offset by Quebec collecting more provincially through its own return.
