How Ontario Taxes Work

Ontario uses a progressive income tax system, meaning your tax rate increases as your income rises. The province also offers various deductions and credits to reduce your taxable income. Here's a basic overview of how Ontario income tax works:

• RRSP contributions (up to a certain limit)
• Union dues
