How the Income Tax Refund Works

Ontario provides tax refunds to residents who have overpaid their income taxes. This can happen if you received more tax credits than you owed in taxes. The refund process involves:

  1. Calculating your total taxable income.
  2. Determining your tax liability based on the 2014 Ontario tax brackets.
  3. Applying any tax credits or deductions.
  4. Issuing a refund if the credits exceed the tax liability.

Formula Used

The refund amount is calculated as:

Refund = Total Tax Credits - Tax Liability

Where Tax Liability is calculated using the 2014 Ontario tax brackets.

Refunds are typically issued as a direct deposit into your bank account or as a cheque.

Worked Example

Let's calculate a refund for a single filer with $50,000 in income and $2,000 in tax credits.

  1. Calculate taxable income: $50,000
  2. Determine tax liability using 2014 Ontario brackets:
    • $42,208 at 5.05% = $2,127.04
    • $42,208 at 9.15% = $3,850.98
    • Remaining $7,592 at 11.16% = $850.00
    • Total tax liability = $2,127.04 + $3,850.98 + $850.00 = $6,827.02
  3. Apply tax credits: $6,827.02 - $2,000 = $4,827.02
  4. Refund amount: $2,000 - $4,827.02 = -$2,827.02 (No refund in this case)

In this example, the filer did not receive a refund because their tax credits were less than their tax liability.
