@jay931The amount of tax due depends on your income. The more you earn, the higher your calculated income tax will be. This is called a progressive (or graduated) tax system.
Income tax brackets are ranges of income on which a set rate of tax is applied.
Canadian taxpayers pay income tax to the federal government as well as to the government of the province/territory where they reside.
Credits and deductions are 2 common ways of reducing your taxes owing and/or increasing your tax refund.
