2025 Canada Tax Changes

Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has announced several tax changes that will take effect in 2025. These changes could impact Canadian residents, businesses, and investors. It will be essential for individuals and businesses to stay informed to prepare accordingly.

Key Changes:

Income Tax Brackets: The income tax brackets will be adjusted for inflation. This will result in higher income thresholds for each tax bracket.

Basic Personal Amount: The basic personal amount will increase to $15,000. This means that the first $15,000 of income will be tax-free.

Canada Child Benefit (CCB): The CCB will be increased by 2%. This will provide more financial support to families with children.

Goods and Services Tax (GST): The GST will remain at 5%. There will be no changes to the GST in 2025.

Harmonized Sales Tax (HST): The HST will also remain at 13%. No changes to the HST are planned for 2025.

What do these changes mean for you?

The impact of these tax changes will vary depending on your individual circumstances. If your income increases in 2025, you may pay less tax due to the higher income tax brackets and basic personal amount. Families with children may also benefit from the increased CCB.
However, if your income remains the same or decreases, you may not notice a significant difference in your tax bill. It's important to note that these changes are subject to approval by the Canadian government. They could be modified or canceled before they take effect in 2025.
