Supplementary notes

Tax filers are people who filed a tax return for the reference year and were alive at the end of the year.

Federal income tax is the amount of income tax that a tax filer is required to pay to the Federal Government of Canada.

Provincial income tax is the amount of income tax that a tax filer is required to pay to the government of the province of residence (as of December 31 of the reference year), or to the government of another province where the tax filer is operating a business with a permanent establishment.

Abatement includes both the Quebec Abatement and the federal refundable First Nation Abatement for Yukon. These abatements reduce the federal income tax payable. With the Quebec Abatement, Quebec residents and persons operating a business in Quebec are allowed a 16.5% abatement from the federal tax. The federal refundable First Nation Abatement is available to individuals residing on specified Yukon First Nation settlement lands. These residents are allowed a 75% or 95% (depending on the First Nation) abatement from the federal tax. Adapted from Statistics Canada, statcan.gc.ca, 2000 to 2020.
