View budget summary →About Provincial Budgets
Provincial and territorial budgets are typically presented in the spring, following the federal budget. Each province sets its own income tax rates, brackets, and credits, which are administered through the federal T1 income tax return for most provinces (Quebec being the notable exception, requiring a separate provincial return).
Provincial changes that commonly affect taxpayers include: basic personal amount adjustments, provincial surtax thresholds, provincial credits for specific activities (like political donations or tuition), and provincial sales tax measures. See our tax rates page for current provincial income tax brackets.
