| Negative amounts are refundable taxes paid to the taxpayer. |
| The Climate Action Incentive (CAI) is not included. |
| QC total tax is net of the refundable federal tax abatement. |
| QC provincial tax includes progressive health contribution and prescription drug premiums (for both spouses in married person case). |
