Provincial & Federal tax rates for 2024 are: 15% on the first $55,867 of taxable income. 20.5% on taxable income over $55,867 up to $111,733. 26% on taxable income over $111,733 up to $173,205. In Canada as a self employed person I pay 25% in Income taxes and then I pay into CPP on top of that. Both together is around 30% of my income. I think its good to let people know those rates you posted are not for self employed people who pay a lot more!
If you are paying more tax and not less while self-employed you are either doing it wrong or are lying. Youbare only showing federal rates too. At highest level you pay 48% combined
Of course everyone’s tax situation is going to look a little bit different. This video presents the general numbers, but your situation may mean you pay taxes a bit differently. But you shouldn’t be paying more than these numbers though!
Excuse me 26% plus ccp. Its well over 30% and I said around. I pay a company to do my taxes so if you would like to contact them and let them know they are doing it wrong I'll give you their info. You also don't know my income so there's that too if you're gonna be a crusty.
Alberta has become a poster child of American type of crony capitalism with huge disparity between have and havenots. It is a compelling reason for not moving to Alberta. Period.
I was born in Alberta 64 years ago and I wouldn't move here because: -The Provincial Government is Anti-Canadian and full of Right Wing Extremist Conspiracy Theorists. -The Provincial Government has attacked the reputations of Teachers, Doctors and Nurses. This has created labour shortages in these professions. Finding a Family Doctor is extremely difficult. Emergency rooms are over run. School Classrooms are overcrowded, schools are understaffed when it comes to special needs children. - Utility Electricity is Very Expensive, the highest rates in Canada -Vehicle Insurance legibility is determined by Insurance Companies. If an Insurance Company determines you are not a good driver, your Vehicle Insurance Coverage can be denied or canceled at any time. -There are "Fees" for many Provincial Services. These fees are expensive, add up quickly and are like a hidden tax. -The Provincial Government does not use the words; "Climate Change, or Global Warming". Even when the Provinces Forests burn every summer. -Renting or Leasing a place to live is more expensive than purchasing a home. Many renters are paying more than 40% of their income on rent. -If you don't have secured employment with a well paying job, don't move here. Alberta has the highest unemployment rate in the Country. The cost of living is very high. Moving with a Family with Kids is not recommended. -The Political Environment is Toxic. "Make Alberta Great Again" is a thing here. Fill in the Blanks.
@@teenova Calgary was the kind of city you could move to and feel at home almost immediately. People were open and friendly, you knew your neighbours, everything was accessible and getting to know the city so much easier
Forgot the dryness. Originally from the east coast my nose cracked & bled for the first year I was here. Also live in Airdrie which I found out is the highest altitude city in Canada! So for you east coasters baking & cooking won’t work the same at all. Also turn on high altitude setting on all printers (I’m a tech, had to say it). Reason I stayed is this is the only province with full support and programs for kids with special needs, snd my son will always come first.
It seems that any video related to Alberta has comments brimming with xenophobia, even a video about real estate. I don't know what's wrong with the people of my province. So I guess for me, the political culture is a bigger negative than any geographical or climatic characteristic...that and real estate prices are indeed getting pretty high in Calgary.
I moved to Alberta many years ago from my homeland in the Northwest Territories so I could meet a potential girlfriend who has her own teeth. I'm happy to report that we've married now for almost 10 years. 😊
Thank you for the informative video , we have considered the move from Victoria ( What !!! I know ) the most amazing place to live i'm sure in Canada , but its crazy here , unbelievably expensive and the infrastructure has become intolerable , it can take over an hour to drive 15 kilometers , and a typical wait in any hospital / clinic is 7 hours , there are so many people here in such a small space , a camp site , better book 6-12 months in advance , gas food taxes all super high . We are lucky to be home owners , but our children and grandchildren won't have it easy . Still beautiful though
House prices have gone up and even worse people going in without conditions making it even harder for people to make a good responsible offer on a property. I personally was involved with an offer where the property went $100,000 over asking. That might have been an extreme but it is and does happen where a lot of properties go far above asking. I have been involved where there was ten offers on a property. With that many offers there is never even a chance to counter offer. The buyer just takes the offer they want, which means no opportunity to counter any other offer. It took almost 5 months to get a home in Calgary due to the issues I have mentioned.
Stay out of Alberta. It's not ready for this. If you had your fun and joy in a place that is now too pricey. It's on you to deal. Not us. Trying to have it all will be bad for the balance. Humans are so selfish now. Good luck everyone.
@ Yes! The Atlantic bubble. Manitoba, Quebec, Ontario, BC, Nunavut, Newfoundland and Labrador: These provinces formed an “Atlantic Bubble” in July 2020, allowing residents to travel freely among them without quarantining. However, entry from outside the bubble required a mandatory 14-day quarantine. Manitoba required all travelers entering the province from other provinces to self-isolate for 14 days. Exceptions were made for essential workers and specific circumstances, such as medical travel. Quebec and Ontario implemented checkpoints at their shared border in spring 2021 during a wave of COVID-19 cases. Non-essential travel between the provinces was restricted, and police conducted random checks to enforce the measures. I could go on but there is a similar theme to the ones I listed here.
I lived in ns, pei, nb, qb, Ont, Sask, ab & bc. Other than the cold, barely getting land with your property, skimpy restaurant dishes and extremely ignorant people. It’s basically the same as every other province. One thing I will say though. If you can’t build a decent life here in Alberta you’re obviously not trying. There’s always something for the people willing to sacrifice everything to become finically free.
why be negative if Alberta is your home.? you people all say the same thing, it is so predictable . And your a Realtor in Airdrie....never bite the hand that feeds you.
Don't buy any home in Calgary or South of that with linoleum siding due to being in a hail corridor. Hail corridor...it's a thing. It's a natural event.

I've lived in Calgary for 40 years. It's an advertisement
To be fair I did mention that hail gets golf ball size and bigger. I simply mentioned that I've never personally seen the large hail, even though I've lived here my whole life. Thanks for watching!
