Ontario 2015 and 2016 Personal Marginal Income Tax Rates

The Federal tax rates for 2016 are as per Bill C-2 tabled in December 2015.  The Ontario tax brackets, personal amount and surtax amounts were increased for 2016 by an indexation factor of 1.015, except for the $150,000 and $220,000 amounts, which are not indexed, as per the ON 2014 budget.  The Federal tax brackets and personal amount were increased for 2016 by an indexation factor of 1.013.  The indexation factors, tax brackets and tax rates have been confirmed to Canada Revenue Agency information.

The 2016 marginal tax rate for non-eligible dividends reflects the rate that is in effect automatically due to the change in the gross-up rate for 2016.  The Ontario 2016 Budget confirmed that they would not make a legislative change to this, but indicated that they would review the rate for 2017 and later years.

Please read the article Understanding the Tables of Personal Income Tax Rates.
