Nunavut 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 Nunavut and Federal tax brackets and personal tax credits were increased for 2016 by an indexation factor of 1.013.  Nunavut uses the Federal indexation factor.  The indexation factors, tax brackets and tax rates have been confirmed to Canada Revenue Agency information.

The 2016 marginal tax rate for non-eligible dividends reflects the rate that is in effect automatically due to the change in the gross-up rate for 2016.  The NU government would have to make legislative amendments in order for this to change.

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