Are Alberta tax brackets progressive?
Yes, the rate of tax increases as the amount of income increases.
Are Alberta tax brackets incremental?
Yes, Alberta tax brackets are incremental, and the more you earn the more you pay. However, everyone earning $151,234 or less pays the same amount: 10% for 2025.
When is the deadline to pay Alberta taxes?
Alberta tax is paid along with your federal tax, which has historically been due April 30 in the calendar year following the tax year you are filing. If the date falls on a Saturday or Sunday, your return will be considered filed on time if the CRA receives it, or even if it is postmarked, on or before the next business day.
If you or your spouse or common-law partner are self-employed, you have until June 15 to file on time. Again if this date falls on a weekend, the deadline moves to the next business day. However, even if your deadline to file is June 15, you’ll need to pay any tax you owe by April 30.
For all you procrastinators out there: don’t! Filing your return long before the deadline means 1) you don’t have to rush and 2) you’ll receive any refund you’re entitled to sooner–AKA, cash in your pocket sooner and less stress.
