Question 1: You are moving from New Brunswick to British Columbia. Your regular $65,000 salary will be subject to BC taxes. As is the case in Canada and the provinces the first $15,000 of your income will not be subject to any taxes. Also, you expect to receive $3,000 in dividends and make $2,000 in profit (capital gain) in a stock sale. The tax tables are included below. Dividends are subject to a 38% gross up and the combined dividend tax credits for NB are 10% and 15% in BC. As well, capital gains are taxed at 50% of income. Two questions: 1) What total income taxes would you pay in both provinces? And 2) By how much (in dollars) will your net tax bill change from moving to BC from NB?
