How Ontario Income Tax Works

Ontario residents are subject to both provincial and federal income taxes. The Ontario government collects the provincial tax, while the federal government collects the federal tax. The combined amount is your total income tax liability.

The tax system uses progressive tax brackets, meaning higher income levels are taxed at higher rates. There are also various deductions and credits available to reduce your taxable income.

Ontario Tax Brackets 2024

For 2024, Ontario's provincial tax rates are as follows:

Taxable Income Provincial Rate
$0 - $45,142 5.05%
$45,142.01 - $90,287 9.15%
$90,287.01 - $150,000 11.16%
$150,000.01 - $220,000 12.16%
Over $220,000 13.16%

The federal tax rates are similar but with different brackets. The combined tax rate can be higher than the provincial rate alone.

Common Deductions

Several deductions can reduce your taxable income:

  • RRSP contributions (up to a certain limit)
  • Medical expenses over 3% of income
  • Donations to registered charities
  • Home office expenses
  • Tuition and education expenses

Consult the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) or Ontario government for the most current deduction rules.

  2. Provincial tax: $3,200 (5.05% of $60,000)
  3. Total tax: $10,000
  4. Net income: $50,000

This example uses simplified rates. Actual calculations may vary based on your specific situation.
