2. Michael already reached the annual maximum first and second Canada Pension Plan (CPP) contributions before this pay. Calculate his total federal and provincial income taxes.
Correct Answer:
(total federal + Alberta tax): $173.48
Explanation:
Taxable gross for the period = $1,600.00 + $30.00 = $1,630.00 (a taxable allowance is included in income for tax withholding).
Using CRA T4032-AB (Biweekly, 26 pay periods) with claim code 2:
Federal tax at pay $1,630 falls in the $1,619-$1,635 range # CC2 = $107.35.
Alberta provincial tax at pay $1,630 falls in the $1,628-$1,644 range # CC2 = $46.55.
Subtotal tax from the tables = $107.35 + $46.55 = $153.90.
CRA notes these tax tables build in the tax credits for CPP/EI, so when CPP is not deducted (because annual max already reached), you must increase tax withholding accordingly.
CPP that would have been deducted this pay (using CRA rates/YBE):
Pensionable = $1,630 # ($3,500/26 = $134.62) = $1,495.38; CPP (4.95% + 1.00% = 5.95%) = $88.98.
Add back missing credits: Federal 14% × 88.98 = $12.46; Alberta 8% × 88.98 = $7.12 # total $19.58.
Final total tax = $153.90 + $19.58 = $173.48.
