Ontario 2017 and 2018 Personal Marginal Income Tax Rates

The 2018 tax rates below are the current tax rates - see also our table of 2018 Current vs Proposed Personal Income Tax Rates, as per the Ontario 2018 Budget.  These tax changes were not tabled, and the government was defeated in a June 2018 election, so the proposed tax changes will not happen.

The Federal tax brackets and personal amounts are increased for 2018 by an indexation factor of 1.015, and the Ontario brackets and amounts are increased by an indexation factor of 1.018, except for the $150,000 and $220,000 bracket amounts, which are not indexed for inflation, as per the Ontario 2014 Budget.  The indexation factors, tax brackets and tax rates have been confirmed to Canada Revenue Agency information.

The 2018 marginal tax rates for non-eligible dividends reflect the change in the non-eligible dividend tax credit rate included in Bill 57, Restoring Trust, Transparency and Accountability Act, 2018, tabled November 15, 2018 re the Ontario 2018 Fall Economic Statement.

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