Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Canadian dual tax system work?
In Canada, personal income tax consists of two separate components: Federal tax (which is identical across all of Canada) and Provincial tax (set independently by each province like Ontario, BC, or Alberta). Both are deducted directly from each paycheck by your employer.
What happens when you max out CPP and EI contributions?
Once your cumulative year-to-date earnings reach the annual contribution ceiling for CPP ($3,867.50) and EI ($1,049.12), deductions stop for the remainder of that calendar year, resulting in larger take-home paychecks from late summer until December.
