Prince Edward Island 2019 and 2018 Personal Marginal Income Tax Rates

The Prince Edward Island tax brackets and personal tax credits are not increased for inflation. The Federal tax brackets and personal amount are increased for 2019 by an indexation factor of 1.022. The indexation factors, tax brackets and tax rates have been confirmed to Canada Revenue Agency information.

The PEI 2018 Budget announced that the basic personal amount would increase by $500 for 2018 and a further $500 for 2019. The PEI government announced on November 6, 2018 that the 2018 basic personal amount is increased to $9,160. The amount shown below reflects the increases, from $8,160 in 2017 to $9,160 in 2018 and 2019. The change in the basic personal amount also changes the level at which the surtax starts.

The 2019 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 2019, as announced in the October 24, 2017 Fall Economic Statement. The PEI 2018 Budget announced a reduction in the small business tax rate from 4.5% to 4% in 2018, and indicated that there would be a corresponding adjustment to the non-eligible dividend tax credit rate. The Department of Finance subsequently indicated that the rate would not change, other than the automatic change due to the reduction in the gross-up rate.
