Ontario 2016 and 2017 Personal Marginal Income Tax Rates

The Federal tax brackets and personal amounts are increased for 2017 by an indexation factor of 1.014, and the Ontario brackets and amounts are increased by an indexation factor of 1.016, 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 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 Ontario 2016 Budget confirmed that they would not make a legislative change to this, but indicated that they would review the rate for 2017 and later years.  Nothing was changed with the 2017 Budget.

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