Harry: All people domiciled in Canada, whether Canadian citizens or not, pay identical taxes. Not quite right, Harry.
Federal tax rates for 2009 are: •15% on the first $40,726 of taxable income, + •22% on the next $40,726 of taxable income (on the portion of taxable income between $40,726 and $81,452), + •26% on the next $44,812 of taxable income (on the portion of taxable income between $81,452 and $126,264), + •29% of taxable income over $126,264. So all Canadians do not pay identical taxes. To further complicate matters, depending on where you live, the provinces then take their cuts:
Provincial/Territorial tax rates for 2009 Ontario: 6.05% on the first $36,848 of taxable income, + 9.15% on the next $36,850, + 11.16% on the amount over $73,698
British Columbia: 5.06% on the first $35,716 of taxable income, + 7.7% on the next $35,717, + 10.5% on the next $10,581, + 12.29% on the next $17,574, + 14.7% on the amount over $99,588
