1

—2014

  Notes

(1) The combined top marginal tax rate is the rate an individual will pay on income that 

falls into the top federal tax bracket. For provinces that have tax brackets above the top 

federal tax bracket, additional rates have been included in the table. Individuals taxable on 

income in excess of $150,000 in British Columbia and Nova Scotia, or on income between 

$150,000 and $220,000 or above $220,000 in Ontario should use these higher rates.

(2) The federal gross-up on non-eligible dividends decreased to 18% (from 25%) effective 

January 1, 2014 and the corresponding dividend tax credit (DTC) decreased to 11% (from 

13.33%).

(3) Alberta’s DTC for non-eligible dividends decreased to 3.1% (from 3.5%) of the taxable 

amount of the dividend effective January 1, 2014.
