Ontario 2018 Personal Marginal Income Tax Rates - Current and Previously Proposed

The Ontario 2018 Budget proposed to eliminate the surtax, and revise the personal income tax brackets and rates, as per the table below.  The problem with the surtax is that it is increases the amount of personal tax credits for taxpayers who are subject to the surtax.  The new Conservative government elected in June 2018 has indicated that the proposed changes will not happen.

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