(6) Ontario indexes its tax brackets and surtax thresholds using the same formula as
that used federally, but uses the provincial inflation rate rather than the federal rate
in the calculation. The province’s inflation factor is 1.0% for 2014. Ontario resident
individuals with taxable income over $20,000 are also required to pay a Health
Premium each year (see the table “Provincial Health Premiums”).
(7) The 2014 Ontario budget announced a new personal income tax bracket effective
January 1, 2014 for taxable income between $150,000 and $220,000. This new
bracket has a tax rate of 12.16%. The budget also lowered the taxable income
threshold for the 13.16% tax rate from $514,090 to $220,000 effective January 1,
2014. The new income thresholds will not be indexed each year.
(8) Quebec indexes its tax brackets using the same formula as that used federally, but
uses the provincial inflation rate, excluding changes in liquor and tobacco taxes,
rather than the federal rate in the calculation. The province’s inflation factor is 0.97%
for 2014. Residents of Quebec are required to pay a health contribution and to make
payments to the province’s Health Services Fund (see the table “Provincial Health
Premiums”).
(9) Newfoundland and Labrador indexes its tax brackets using the same formula as that
used federally, but uses the applicable provincial inflation rate rather than the federal
rate in the calculation. Newfoundland and Labrador’s inflation factor is 1.5% for 2014.
