Taxable income
Marginal rate on
Ontario
1. The tax rates include the provincial surtaxes and reflect budget proposals and news releases up to June 1, 2023. The rates do not include the Ontario
Health Premium (see note 5 below). Where the tax is determined under the alternative minimum tax provisions (AMT), the above table is not
applicable. AMT may be applicable where the tax otherwise payable is less than the tax determined by applying the relevant AMT rate to the
individual’s taxable income adjusted for certain preference items. Effective for 2017 and subsequent taxation years, provincial surtax and the Ontario
tax reduction are pro-rated if the individual is a multijurisdictional filer.
2. The tax determined by the table should be reduced by the applicable federal and provincial tax credits (see chart below), other than the basic personal
tax credits, which have been reflected in the calculations (see Note 7 below).
3. The rates apply to the actual amount of taxable dividends received from taxable Canadian corporations. Eligible dividends are those paid by public
corporations and private companies out of earnings that have been taxed at the general corporate tax rate (the dividend must be designated by the
payor corporation as an eligible dividend). Where the dividend tax credit exceeds the federal and provincial tax otherwise payable on the dividends,
the rates do not reflect the value of the excess credit that may be used to offset taxes payable from other sources of income. This assumption is
consistent with prior year rates. Where applicable, the provincial surtax has been applied prior to deducting the dividend tax credit.
4. The rates apply to the actual amount of the capital gain. The capital gains exemption on qualified farm or fishing property and small business
corporation shares may apply to eliminate the tax on those specific properties.
5. Individuals resident in Ontario on December 31, 2023 with taxable income in excess of $20,000 must pay the Ontario Health Premium. The premium
ranges from $nil to $900 depending on the individual's taxable income, with the top premium being payable by individuals with taxable income in
excess of $200,599.
6. Individuals resident in Ontario on December 31, 2023 with taxable income up to $17,291 pay no provincial income tax as a result of a low-income tax
reduction. The low-income tax reduction ($274 of Ontario tax) is clawed back for income in excess of $17,291 until the reduction is eliminated,
resulting in an additional 5.05% of provincial tax on income between $17,292 and $22,716.
7. The federal basic personal amount comprises two elements: the base amount ($13,520 for 2023) and an additional amount ($1,480 for 2023).
The additional amount is reduced for individuals with net income in excess of $165,430 and is fully eliminated for individuals with net income in
excess of $235,675. Consequently, the additional amount is clawed back on net income in excess of $165,430 until the additional tax credit of
$222 is eliminated; this results in additional federal income tax (e.g., 0.32% on ordinary income) on net income between $165,431 and
$235,675.

exceeding $65,000.

expenses that exceed the lesser of $2,686 and 3% of net income.
