7. TOP INCOME EARNER/CANADA
Combined Provincial/Territories range 47% to 55%
•NB has highest combine Personal Income Tax in Canada
•269K pay 20% of the total income tax in Canada (2014 Stats)
Alberta accounted for much of the increase in the nation's top 1%
of taxfilers between 2013 and 2014. This predated the drop in oil
prices in 2015. Nearly 68,600 of the high-income group lived in
the province in 2014, an increase of more than 6,000 over 2013.
In contrast, the number of top 1% taxfilers living in Ontario fell by
1,900, from 109,100 in 2013 to 107,200 in 2014. However,
Ontario retained the largest share of Canada's top 1% of taxfilers
(39.9%) in 2014. Ontario and Alberta combined accounted for
65.5% of the country's top 1% of taxfilers, which was above their
share of the country's total taxfilers at 49.1%.
•The small group is a big source of federal revenue, contributing more than 20 per cent
of all income tax collected. Canada’s rich may be getting a little richer, but their
income growth of 1.2 per cent between 2012 and 2013 was in line with the growth of
all other tax filers.

• Wealthiest pay 20% of the federal income tax - https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/wealthiest-income-analysis-and-
commentary-canada-2017
• Governments have an issue with their delivery model which is ignored by your post, why?

• I am sure you believe in a wealth tax, right? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWarBMfshaA
• Income equality is an issue, but won’t be fixed with bad policies like C69 or C48 or Carbon Taxation or other bad policies that
discourage business investment – https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/business-competitivesness-canada-march-2019
• You do not fixed income inequality either by handing moneys out to able bodied people or by taxing others to death. The problem
with socialism is that you eventually run out other people’s moneys! - https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/guarantee-
income-canada-analysis-and-commentary-february-2019
• FYI – We need to stop finding more ways to tax people and start looking at how government operates!
