2013 Tax Comparison of Dividends vs Interest

The tables on this page compare taxes payable by province/territory in 2013 for three different types of investment income:

  - Canadian eligible dividends

  - Canadian 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 tax rates used are as known  at Dec 31, 2013 (QC results have been revised).  The total taxes payable include any alternative minimum tax, where applicable.
