The federal tax system in Canada allows the government to collect corporate income taxes in the country except three territories namely Alberta, Ontario and Quebec and personal income taxes in all the territories and provinces in Canada except Quebec. The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) regulates the entire income tax process in Canada and the federal income tax is imposed under the Income Tax Act in the country. The provincial and territorial income taxation in Canada also follows the concept of taxable income as defined by the federal tax system. The provincial and territorial governments in Canada offer low-income tax reductions and also provide both refundable and non-refundable tax credits to the tax payers in that province or territory.
The CRA sets the tax payment deadline for the income tax Canada and taxpayers need to assess their liability and file the tax returns within that date. Apart from collecting taxes in the country, the CRA calculates the returns filed by the taxpayers and also makes corrections if required. If any disagreement occurs between the CRA and taxpayer's calculation on the tax payment, the taxpayer may object to the assessment made by the CRA and eventually move to the Tax Court of Canada for review and re-assessment of the tax.
The rate of taxation depends on the income bracket in which the individual falls in and generally, more the income; more is the income tax rate in Canada. The following table includes the data on federal marginal tax rates in Canada
