Tax Comparison of Dividends vs Interest
The tax comparison tables show the total income taxes payable or refundable at various levels of investment income for each province and territory. Three different types of investment income are compared:
 | Eligible Canadian dividends |
| Non-eligible Canadian dividends, and |
| other investment income such as foreign dividends and interest. |
The calculations assume that the income is earned by a single person, and that there is no other type of income included in taxable income. The total taxes payable include any alternative minimum tax, where applicable.
