Income Tax Revenues – Indivi<strong>du</strong>al and Trust<br />

Indivi<strong>du</strong>al and trust income tax revenues increased by $4.9 billion, or 10.3%. The increase stems from continued economic<br />

growth and is in line with the increase in indivi<strong>du</strong>al taxable income. Legislative changes in the province of Ontario, such as<br />

the restructuring of a tax credit <strong>to</strong> a benefit program and a lower surtax threshold also contributed <strong>to</strong> the increase.<br />

Income Tax Revenues – Corporate<br />

Corporate income tax revenues increased by $513.0 million or 4.0%. This increase is <strong>du</strong>e <strong>to</strong> higher corporate profits, partially<br />

offset by corporate tax cuts and the elimination of capital tax in Ontario.<br />

Columbia announced that it will return <strong>to</strong> the provincial sales tax, and this change will be effective April 1, 2013. During this<br />

period, the Agency will continue <strong>to</strong> administer the HST in British Columbia. On April 18, <strong>2012</strong>, the province of Prince Edward<br />

HST revenue allocation framework effective April 1, 2013.<br />
