BC 2017 and 2018 Personal Marginal Income Tax Rates

BC Income Tax Act s. 4.1, 4.3, 4.52

The Federal tax brackets and personal amounts are increased for 2018 by an indexation factor of 1.015, and the BC brackets and amounts are increased by an indexation factor of 1.020.  The indexation factors, tax brackets and tax rates have been confirmed to Canada Revenue Agency information.

The BC September 2017 Budget announced the introduction of a new top personal tax rate of 16.8% for taxable income that exceeds $150,000, effective January 1, 2018.

The 2018 marginal tax rates for non-eligible dividends reflect the rates that are in effect automatically due to the change in the gross-up rate for 2018, as announced in the October 24, 2017 Fall Economic Statement.

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