How accurate is this calculator?

I found a Canadian Income Tax Calculator 2009 online and if you input your income, it will figure out what you have to pay in. I noticed in the province of Nova Scotia we pay the highest on $6,000,000,000.

I'm sure your relative had a lot of tax deductions.

In answer to part of your question A relative of mine is a very sucessful business man last year he only paid $650,000 in taxes and that was on 4.5 million dollars Income

Luisafer3,

If I were you; I would wait till you have six million dollars and then you can worry about what kind of taxes your going to pay. If I were a betting man; I would say without any write offs, the government will place you in a tax bracket 50% or higher.

Cheers

luisafer... it's a great question....however it's really complicated...

the tax laws are very complicated...

When you get to that level of income, you hire tax accountants, lawyers, etc to help you pay the least amount of taxes.

Is not that I actually have that kind of money, i just ask out of curiosity because I see that people make so much money on tv that i wondered how much does the government actually takes. I guess is not the right site to ask this question, sorry.

That is a pretty odd question eh Monty?

You would think someone making that kind of money would have a handle on their personal tax planning and a good accountant.
