Eligible dividends are designated as such by the payor. Most dividends paid by public corporations are eligible dividends. When two dividend rates are indicated, the rate that applies depends on the level of the taxpayer s other income, with the higher rate applying if the taxpayer has no other income. 2. For Newfoundland and Labrador, the dividend rates shown are for dividends paid after June 30, 2014. The rates before July 1, 2014 are: Bracket $ 11,138 34,254 43,953 68,508 87,907 136,270 Eligible (4.58) to 0 2.04 to 2.07 11.70 12.81 18.33 22.47 Rate % Non-eligible 7.89 13.55 21.81 22.75 27.47 31.01 3. A non-resident will pay tax on taxable income below $11,138 if the non-resident does not qualify for the federal personal basic tax credit (see page 5). Non-resident rates for interest and dividends apply only in limited cases; generally, interest (other than most interest paid to arm s-length non-residents) and dividends are subject to Part XIII non-resident withholding tax. 4

Individual tax table This table shows 2014 combined federal and provincial (or territorial) income taxes payable, assuming all income is interest or ordinary income (such as salary) and only the basic personal tax credit is claimed (except for non-residents). Certain types of income and deductions may trigger alternative minimum tax (AMT), affecting the results. For Quebec, the federal income tax amounts shown should be reduced by the 16.5% Quebec abatement. See page 15. This table assumes the non-resident will not qualify for the basic personal tax credit. A non-resident can claim this credit only if all or substantially all (i.e. 90% or more) of his or her worldwide income is included in taxable income earned in Canada for the year. Instead of provincial or territorial tax, non-residents pay an additional 48% of basic federal tax on income taxable in Canada that is not earned in a province or territory. Non-residents are subject to provincial or territorial rates on employment income earned, and business income connected with a permanent establishment, in the respective province or territory. Different rates may apply to non-residents in other circumstances. For the taxation of interest and dividends paid to non-residents, see footnote 3 on page 4.
