Tax Brackets in Canada
Canada's federal government has the following tax brackets for the 2012 tax year (all in Canadian dollars). Note that the "basic personal amount" of $10,527 effectively means that income up to this amount is not subject to tax, although it is included in the calculation of taxable income.
| Taxable income | Tax on this income |
|---|---|
| $0–$10,527 | Nil |
| $10,528–$42,707 | 15% |
| $42,708–$85,414 | 22% |
| $85,414–$132,406 | 26% |
| Over $132,406 | 29% |
Each province adds their own tax on top of the federal tax.

Famous quotes containing the words tax and/or canada:
“I find nothing healthful or exalting in the smooth conventions of society. I do not like the close air of saloons. I begin to suspect myself to be a prisoner, though treated with all this courtesy and luxury. I pay a destructive tax in my conformity.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Canadians look down on the United States and consider it Hell. They are right to do so. Canada is to the United States what, in Dante’s scheme, Limbo is to Hell.”
