Along with your federal tax, BC is owed by April 30, 2025. 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.
Are BC tax brackets incremental?
Yes, BC tax brackets are incremental. The more you earn, the more tax you pay on that additional income. Incremental tax brackets mean that those who earn more pay a higher percentage of their income to the CRA. A uniform tax rate would mean that everyone, no matter their income, paid the same percentage. That leads to high income earners paying a relatively small amount.
How do tax brackets work in BC?
