Common questions
Is this my total Canadian income tax?
No. The result is federal bracket tax before credits. Provincial or territorial tax, tax credits and other payroll deductions are excluded. Use the stated tax year and taxable income.
Does a tax estimate include every credit, relief and payroll deduction?
Only items explicitly listed in the supported scope are included. Check the stated tax year, country, income definition and exclusions before comparing with an official return or payslip.
