I waited for a 'Tax Professional' to answer this post but as no one came forward, I am giving you a rough idea.
In Canada, the income tax has various slabs. You have to pay 'Federal Tax' as well as 'Provincial Tax' on your income. The 'Federal Tax is same every where but the 'Provincial Tax' is different in each province. For simplicity sake we would talk about 'Ontario Province' only as you have talked about an accountant in Mississauga City, which is in Ontario.
Federal Slab are as follows :
Income up to $32,183 16%
more than $32,183 but up to $64,368 the tax is $5149+22% of the amount over $32,183
Income more than $ 64,368 but up to $104,648 the tax is $12,230 + 26% of the amount over $ 64,368
Similary the provincial tax slabs are as under :
Income up to $32,435 6.05%
more than $32,435 but up to $64,871 the tax is $1962 + 9.15% over $32,435
more than 64,871 the tax is $ 4930 + 11.16% of the amount more than 64,871
However, you get a personal deduction from both level of governments
upto $7756 and $7817 respectively. What it means is they will deduct this amount from your gross income and then apply taxes.
In addition to this you have to pay E.I (employment insurance) of around 2% (maximum of $800 app.) and C.P.P (Canada pension plan) of app. 5% (maximum of $1800 app.) and if you have a health plan with your employer, then an additional 2 to 3% of the pay you would have to pay.
So, if for argument sake if a person has a gross income of 50,000 then after the personal deduction of app. $7,800 he will have to pay tax of $5149 + $1962 + $3115 ( being 31.15% of app. $10,000 ($50,000 - $7,800 - $32,200) which is the 2nd slab) a total of around $10,226 plus another $4000 in EI, CPP and health plan.
However, you should visit the site http://www.ccra-adrc.gc.ca/tax/individuals to get the latest information.
I hope it helps.
