Quebec 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 Quebec tax brackets and personal amount were increased for 2016 by an indexation factor of 1.0109. Quebec's indexation factor is calculated using the Quebec consumer price index (CPI) without alcoholic beverages and tobacco products. The Federal tax brackets and personal amount were increased for 2016 by an indexation factor of 1.013. The indexation factors, tax rates and increases to tax brackets have been confirmed to Revenue Quebec and Canada Revenue Agency information.
The tax rates below include the reduction in rate due to the federal tax abatement of 16.5% of federal tax. However, this abatement is applied to the net federal tax after deducting the basic personal amount. For this reason, the federal personal amount tax credit is also reduced by 16.5%, which is not reflected below.
The 2016 marginal tax rate for non-eligible dividends reflects the rate that is in effect automatically due to the reduction in the gross-up rate for 2016, from 18% to 17%. The Quebec Finance Ministry announced in Bulletin 2015-4 that the rate of the tax credit applicable to non-eligible dividends would remain unchanged (i.e., at 7.05% of the taxable dividend) in regard to the change in the gross-up. Bulletin 2013-7 from July 11, 2013 indicated that the rate of the tax credit applicable to non-eligible dividends will be reduced from 8% to 7.05% of the taxable dividend, in response to the 2014 reduction in the gross-up from 25% to 18%.
