🇨🇦 Canada · Tax System
Corporate tax, VAT/GST, personal income tax, capital gains, and filing obligations.
Taxes are administered by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). Corporations pay federal and provincial corporate income tax, and GST/HST applies to most goods and services.
- The federal general corporate income tax rate is 15% after the federal abatement; provinces add their own rate.
- GST is 5% federally; some provinces combine it with provincial tax as HST.
- Filing and payment are handled through the CRA's My Business Account.
