Questions
Why is Ontario more than the bracket tax?
T4127 adds Ontario surtax on basic provincial tax and the Ontario Health Premium on taxable income. The surtax starts above $5,818 of basic provincial tax. The health premium starts above $20,000 and reaches $900. The tax reduction can wipe out basic Ontario tax plus surtax for a low amount, and it does not reduce the health premium.
