Tax Facts and Figures: Canada 2009

Any big changes in your financial situation could have important tax implications. To help you understand your tax rates and how the numerous tax changes apply to you or your company, PricewaterhouseCoopers presents the 32nd edition of Tax Facts and Figures.

Corporate tax rates continue to be on the decline. In response, personal tax rates on eligible and non-eligible dividends are being adjusted. General capital taxes are becoming extinct. Several targeted programs have been enhanced, such as tax credits for film and media, along with incentives for scientific research and experimental development. The federal government remains committed to provincial sales tax harmonization, with Ontario coming on board in 2010.

The 2009 edition is current to June 9, 2009, and takes into account all 2009 federal, provincial and territorial budgets.
