The level of Taxation in Canada is average among Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries. Approximately 70% of the Canadian government's income comes from taxation, the rest from tariffs, fees, and investments.

Administration

Federal taxes are collected by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), formerly known as "Revenue Canada" or the "Canada Customs and Revenue Agency".

Under "Tax Collection Agreements", CRA collects and remits to the provinces:

  • Provincial personal income taxes on behalf of all provinces except Quebec, so that individuals outside of Quebec file only one set of tax forms each year for their federal and provincial income taxes.
  • Corporate taxes on behalf of all provinces except Quebec and Alberta.

The Ministère du revenu du Québec collects the GST in Quebec on behalf of the federal government, and remits it to Ottawa.

The provincial governments of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador no longer impose a provincial sales tax and in those provinces the federal government collects goods and services tax at a rate 8% higher than in the other provinces. The additional revenue from this Harmonized Sales Tax is paid by the federal government to the three harmonizing provinces. Ontario and BC are set to join this system.

Question on Taxation in US and Canada?
Q. We have the separation of church and state. Tax exemptions is a form of government support for religions and religious activities. On the other, one may argue that to tax is the power to restrict or destroy, so is exempting religions from taxation a means of ensuring their independence. In what year did the US government give tax exemptions to churches? How about in Canada?
Asked by Christine P - Mon Oct 27 22:44:51 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. "Separation of church and state" means that there is no official government-sanctioned religion, and that the government cannot compel you to practice one particular religion or prohibit you from practicing the religion of your choice. It does NOT mean that the government cannot grant tax exemptions to certain types of property, such as schools, churches, charitable organizations, hospitals, social clubs, elderly housing, museums, etc.
