2008 Income tax rates in Canada



Hey guys ... I know I've been away for a while, sorry for that but I'm getting so busy these days. However, while I was calculating my Federal and Provincial tax for my new job ... I thought you would be interested to know how to calculate your tax as well for 2008. Here is the Tax rates:


Federal tax rates for 2008 are:
  • 15% on the first $37,885 of taxable income, +
  • 22% on the next $37,884 of taxable income (on the portion of taxable income between $37,885 and $75,769), +
  • 26% on the next $47,415 of taxable income (on the portion of taxable income between $75,769 and $123,184), +
  • 29% of taxable income over $123,184.

Provincial/Territorial tax rates for 2008

Under the current tax on income method, tax for all provinces (except Quebec) and territories is calculated the same way as federal tax.

Form 428 is used to calculate this provincial or territorial tax. Provincial or territorial specific non-refundable tax credits are also calculated on Form 428.

For complete details, see the Provincial or Territorial information and forms in your 2008 tax package.
