Tax Break for the Middle Class

We’re going to give a tax break to middle class Canadians by asking the wealthiest Canadians to give a little more.

A Liberal government will cut the middle class income bracket by 7% (from 22% to 20.5%) and introduce a new tax bracket of 33% for incomes over $200,000.

That means you could save nearly $670 per person every year! With a maximum benefit of nearly $1350 for a couple.

middle class income tax rate: $44,701 - $89,401

Cancelling Tax Breaks and Benefits for the Wealthy

Canada is a country based on fairness. But right now, Canada’s middle class sees its hard-earned money used to give a tax break to the wealthiest Canadians.

That’s not fair.

A Liberal government will cancel Stephen Harper’s tax breaks for the wealthy to give more Canadian families money to raise their kids.
