What is the federal corporate tax rate in Canada for 2024?

The federal general corporate income tax rate is 15% (after the 10% federal tax abatement that applies to income earned in Canada). Canadian-controlled private corporations (CCPCs) benefit from the small business deduction, reducing the rate to 9% on the first $500,000 of qualifying active business income.

Who qualifies for the Small Business Deduction?

Canadian-controlled private corporations (CCPCs) with active business income qualify. The annual limit is $500,000 federally (2024), but this is shared among associated corporations. The limit also phases out for CCPCs with taxable capital employed in Canada exceeding $10 million. Passive investment income above $50,000 also reduces the SBD limit.

How is the $500,000 small business limit applied?

The first $500,000 of active business income is taxed at the small business rate (federal 9%). Income above $500,000 is taxed at the general rate (federal 15%). This calculator applies the split at the federal $500,000 threshold. Provincial small business limits may differ; the tool uses each province's own limit where known.

Does this calculator include provincial tax?

Yes. All 13 provinces and territories are included with their 2024 general and small business corporate rates. The tool displays the combined federal and provincial tax, as well as the separate federal and provincial amounts.

What is not included in this calculator?

This tool does not cover the refundable portion of tax on investment income (Part IV tax), the general rate income pool (GRIP), the capital dividend account, surtaxes on financial institutions, resource allowances, or group/associated company restrictions on the small business limit. Consult a qualified tax adviser for complex structures.

What is the combined federal and provincial small business rate for Ontario?

In Ontario (2024), the provincial small business rate is 3.2% and the general rate is 11.5%. Combined with the federal rates, a CCPC in Ontario pays approximately 12.2% on the first $500,000 (9% + 3.2%) and 26.5% on income above $500,000 (15% + 11.5%).
