Uh Daylia, 8% GST? I know inflation is insideous, but have you ever checked out any of your receipts?

Here are the rates for Federal income tax for Canada prior to deductions

16% on the first $32,183 of taxable income;
22% on the next $32,185 of taxable income;
26% on the next $40,280 of taxable income; and
29% of taxable income over $104,648

Provincial rates vary according to province and although Alberta has a flat tax of 10% on all income, for income under approximately $62,000, it looks as if you'll still pay less combined provincial and federal income tax on income earned in BC, Ontario and a few others, but will get nicked by the sales tax in the rest of the provinces.
