Understanding taxable income and tax calculation

Understanding taxable income and tax calculation

Canadian corporation based on its income statement. For simplicity, we’ll use fictional numbers and assume the corporation is subject to the federal corporate income tax rate and relevant provincial tax rates.

Here’s a sample income statement for our fictional corporation:

Revenue: $1,000,000

Cost of Goods Sold (COGS): $400,000

Gross Profit: $600,000

Operating Expenses: $300,000

Operating Income including $200,000 of payroll: $300,000

Other Income: $20,000

Interest Expense: $10,000

Net Income Before Taxes: $310,000

Income Tax Expense (Federal and Provincial): 15%

Now, let’s calculate the taxes and contributions:

Federal Corporate Income Tax:

Federal corporate income tax is calculated based on the corporation’s taxable income before deducting any provincial taxes.

Taxable Income Before Taxes: $310,000

Federal Corporate Income Tax Rate: Let’s assume 10%

Federal Tax Payable: $310,000 * 10% = $31,000

Provincial Corporate Income Tax:

Provincial corporate income tax rates vary by province. For this example, let’s assume a provincial tax rate of 5%.

Provincial Taxable Income: $310,000

Provincial Corporate Income Tax Rate: 5%

Provincial Tax Payable: $310,000 * 5% = $15,500

Total Corporate Income Tax:

Total Corporate Income Tax = Federal Tax Payable + Provincial Tax Payable

Total Corporate Income Tax = $31,000 + $15,500 = $46,500
