Dual tax rates – Example 1

Income earned in one province or territory

Example

Corp X earned all of its income in 2016 from its permanent establishment in Saskatchewan. Corp X claimed the small business deduction when it calculated its federal tax payable. The income from active business carried on in Canada was $78,000.

The Saskatchewan lower rate of tax is 2%. The higher rate of tax is 12%.

Corp X calculates its Saskatchewan rate tax payable as follows:

Taxable income
$90,000
Minus: Amount taxed at lower rate (least of lines 400, 405, 410, and 427 from the T2 return in the small business deduction calculation)
− 78,000
Amount taxed at higher rate
= $12,000

Calculation of Saskatchewan tax payable:

Taxes payable at the lower rate: $78,000 × 2%
$1,560
Plus: Taxes payable at the higher rate: $12,000 × 12%
+ 1,440
Saskatchewan tax payable
= $3,000
